Great work by @nicola_collett highlighting how a criminal record can have long term implications on people’s lives and opportunities.

Low-level offence, long-lasting impact

Research by @nicola_collett finds even fleeting brushes with the criminal justice system can have long-lasting negative impact.

It has helped millions of people with criminal records move on positively, but is the legislation still fit for purpose today's world?

Govt recommendations on social housing could disadvantage people with criminal records.

Under the proposals, someone with an unspent conviction and/or certain civil sanctions relating to anti-social behaviour could be disqualified from access to social housing.

A huge thank you to @_CPBrooks who gave a really interesting and informative talk to the @PrisonersEd staff team today on her research on access to higher education for people with criminal records.

You can read more about her research here ⬇️.

@jonbcollins @PrisonersEd It was lovely to be able to share my research with the team, thank you for having me!

[Charlotte Brooks @_CPBrooks]

Excited to share some findings from my PhD research exploring university admissions policies for people with criminal records. Most universities continue to require applicants to disclose their conviction which can impact access to #highereducation.

[Wonkhe @Wonkhe]

NEW on Wonkhe: Charlotte Brooks presents research on the complex landscape of university admissions policies for those with criminal records @_CPBrooks https://t.co/0vtxIpWlGz

@Andibrierley @Wonkhe @LeedsTrinity @curiousruth Thank you Andi and Ruth, I really enjoyed reading this and especially the important points about language.

The chancellor talked about getting people into work, but the #AutumnStatement included no mention of the 12 million people living with the stigma of a criminal record. (1)

@Sam_McAleese Thank you!

@KirkbrideHannah Thank you Hannah for the interest in the topic! Happy to chat more. This piece is all about universities requiring disclosures for degrees that don’t require enhanced checks (which most universities still do unfortunately).

[Charlotte Brooks @_CPBrooks]

Fantastic few days @DCU meeting lots of new people and presenting my PhD research for the North South Criminology Conference! #NSCC2023

[Shadd Maruna @criminology]

Equally outstanding was a panel on criminal records and admission to higher education with @drandrewhenley @joegarrihy1 @ciaraBroche @_CPBrooks
