Welcome proposals to reform our broken criminal records system which punishes people for life for minor offences #fairchecks https://t.co/VdGMs5upwK
No one should be defined by mistakes they made as a child.
We've written to the Lord Chancellor, David Lammy MP, to welcome his commitment to simplifying the childhood criminal records system.

Great article by @charleshymas in @Telegraph exploring childhood offences holding people back 30-40+ years later.
@WorkingChance research shows 30% of employers will automatically reject an applicant with any criminal record.
How can people be expected to move on & find work?
Great to have fed into @cjalliance #TimeForChange report.
Including:
➡️overhauling the DBS system
➡️the impact of digital footprints on the chance for rehabilitation
➡️increasing support for #BanTheBox & #FairChecks
➡️that 'criminal record' doesn't = prison or violence
🧵Today we launched our newest report, Time for change. The report underscores the urgent need for systemic changes within the criminal justice system through stronger partnerships between the government and civil society.

We would like to thank some of the great work by @WorkingChance and the #FairChecks coalition @unlockcharity @TransformJust1 supporting those in touch with the criminal justice system into employment.
It’s just a criminal waste of potential.
“You don’t need to wait for government to pass laws to give people a second chance, to fill vacancies, to move the economy forward.” Me for the @FT.
Thank you @simonmundy for writing about second chance hiring and #Fairchecks 🙏🏽

Thanks @EvieBreese @BigIssue for my quote on #FairChecks: 'Our outdated system requires them to disclose cautions and childhood convictions [...] This traps people in their past and prevents them from moving forward positively with their lives.'

Last month we brought business leaders, parliamentarians and justice campaigners to @UKHouseofLords to kick-off our #FairChecks campaign to fix our broken criminal records system.
Huge thanks @LordHastings @Ash_Prashar @TransformJust1 @unlockcharity !

It's been a whirlwind 24 hours for #FairChecks 🤯
We published our Business Statement of Support signed by reps who back our calls for change & attended a House of Lords reception organised with @RBI_Justice @IandI2050 & hosted by @LordHastings to support FairChecks, thanks all!
Great to have coffee this morning with @Ash_Prashar, board member of @JustLeadersUSA, to tell him about @elevatecjs & discuss how we can re-imagine our CJS and drive systemic change in the 🇬🇧 and 🇺🇸. Thanks @RBI_Justice for putting us in contact at #FairChecks event last night!
Ex-political adviser Ashish Prashar gave his personal reason for why it’s vital to stop childhood offences from holding someone back for the rest of their life. Read more about #Fairchecks ⬇️

Thanks @RBI_Justice @FairChecks @TransformJust1 @unlockcharity
Appx 12 million people in the UK have a criminal record. Last night @LordHastings pleaded with business people, MPs & justice defenders to support calls for reform to our outdated criminal records system. Makes absolute commonsense. #Fairchecks @FairChecks
Great to see support for #FairChecks tonight with @LordHastings, @JanetDaby @Ash_Prashar & others. The current outdated criminal records system is holding our country back. These common-sense steps will help people move forward positively & not live in 'perpetual punishment'.
Today I was pleased to join @LordHastings, @RBI_Justice, @TransformJust1 and many others to hear how the criminal justice system, in its current form, is holding back growth.
Our February Newsletter is here!
@Ash_Prashar called for #FairChecks, @virginhotels and @Burlington joined #UnlockPotential, @LenaPatel74 talked about her role at RBIJ, and more.

Two things build a bridge to success for people after prison. 1: work 2: positive relationships. Here’s a thought-provoking @Independent piece re change to open up an untapped talentpool. #Fairchecks #commonsense https://t.co/9lfPvRtzUp @RBI_Justice @FairChecks @cjalliance 1/2
#CleanSlate is the radical idea that you are looking for, prime minster; and yes, even conservatives approve of it. Me for the @Independent:
