Masterclass on changes to the disclosure of criminal convictions
[Thursday 3rd July, 1.30pm - 5pm, Cardiff, £49]
The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act has changed for the first time in 40 years! If you provide information, advice, or employment-focused support to people with convictions, or handle criminal records, do you know how these changes impact on people with convictions?
This masterclass, run by Unlock in partnership with Clinks, will provide you with a greater understanding of how the criminal record and disclosure systems operate (and how they have changed) and the implications this has for people with convictions when seeking employment, volunteer work and more broadly in moving on positively in their lives. This masterclass will cover:
- Changes to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, which came into force on the 10th March 2014, and how this effects what people with convictions have to disclose
- How to work out whether convictions are ‘spent’ under the amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974
- If and how the new filtering process by the Disclosure and Barring Service changes what will be disclosed on a criminal record check
- The different types of criminal record checks, and how to make sure the right check is being done by an employer
“The disclosure training is engaging and comprehensive. Some of the legal aspects are quite complex and I would recommend anyone who works in this field to think about completing the Unlock training to ensure they are fully up to date” Carrie Peters, Director of REACH
