@DanielCraig_GB @BITC Thanks Daniel. The changes are designed for people who have completed their sentence and not re-offended. The premise of #BantheBox is candidates stand a better chance of a job if employers assess them on their merit before considering relevant convictions later if necessary.

Whilst we celebrate the one million jobs already covered by #BantheBox - there's still so much further to go to make this mainstream inclusive recruitment practice. This support from @lucyfrazer Prisons Minister is much appreciated.

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

Lucy Frazer, the prisons minister, is hoping to persuade more companies to hire ex-offenders by signing up to the 'Ban the Box' campaign, which encourages employers to remove the criminal convictions tick box from their job application forms. https://t.co/ADlm1IQ9bo

[BITC Employment @BITC_Inclusion]

Our Ban the Box campaign has reached an incredible milestone of covering over 1 million jobs. Over 150 employers have made a positive impact on the lives of people with criminal convictions across the UK. Learn how you can #BantheBox, read the report here: https://t.co/hcgLCZyiZ5

@DomHeadley Your support has been critical to the campaign @DomHeadley - thank you so much, for all the expertise, energy and advocacy you've brought to the campaign over the years.

[Nicola Inge @nicinge]

A great piece from SMC commissioner Sammy Wright. I'd add one important element here too - the need for businesses to look more widely than academic attainment when they're assessing future talent. #responsiblebusiness #education #skillsweneed

What a great morning spent with Head Teachers and businesses uncovering ways to support young people to look after their mental health, engage in learning and have the best chances as they leave education. Am feeling inspired and humbled. #buildbackresponsibly

As we approach the end of the year, business leaders, school leaders and young people are coming together this morning to reflect on how the pandemic has created challenges and renewed urgency for business action in education. @BITC_Education #buildbackresponsibly

Loving the #FEASummit20 opening poetry from the People's Poet Dave Nieta. A beautiful way to start the day and prepare minds for the conversations ahead.

So relieved to see this - furlough has been such a huge lifeline for so many and would have been desperately unfair to remove it now. https://t.co/ckNGyuy1oT
