Frontline Advisors: Identifying, Supporting & Advocating for Ex-offenders

This session is crucial for Restart Employment Advisors and Frontline Staff who are committed to supporting individuals with convictions and wish to enhance their skills ensuring they provide accurate, up-to-date guidance to ex-offenders.

What Will You Learn?

1. Identify: Gain insights into recognising and approaching participants with convictions, fostering trust and openness. Due to recent legislation changes, this now affects a much wider group of candidates.
   
2. Support: Learn practical strategies to help participants overcome barriers due to their convictions, focusing on reintegration and employment. As more people's convictions now become spent, this means the support needs of your customers will increase.
   
3. Advocate: Understand how to effectively work with external agencies and employers, emphasising disclosure and advocacy.

• Restart Advisor

The session was absolutely brilliant. I couldn't have asked for a better session. Rik was incredibly engaging, funny and informative. I have learned a lot from the session today and know that all the key workers and management benefited immensely. This will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the quality of service that we deliver to our participants and help us to ensure that we provide accurate information on disclosure. I thoroughly enjoyed today's session and can't thank Rik and the Offploy team enough.
