Disclosure Scotland - Unlocking the Talents of People with Convictions: Challenging Perceptions of Their Employment
Created: 21/08/2019
News/Events Category: Training and Learning
When: 10.00am-3.30pm, Monday 26 August 2019
Where: The Robertson Trust, 152 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4TB
This event is being organised by Disclosure Scotland
This particular event is free to attend, so no payment is required.
It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.Very few employers will operate a ‘zero tolerance’ attitude to employing people with convictions. It is more a question of where they draw their threshold or line. Sometimes this line is drawn where it is for very defensible reasons and other times perhaps there is room for a rethink.
This training aims to help delegates to:
- Challenge their perceptions around employing someone with a conviction.
- Develop their awareness of whether people with convictions are treated less favourable when looking for work.
- Understand and use the tools developed by the Scotland Works for You alliance – the “central conversation” with the candidate and the concepts of proximity and desistance in the context of recruitment decisions.
This session – through facilitator input, case studies and practical application – will provide delegates with the knowledge and skills required when applying this methodology, which is a successful approach to defensible decision making that is currently in use with Disclosure Scotland’s Protection Unit.
