We’ve played a leading role in bringing together businesses, charities and government agencies working in Scotland to help people with convictions develop their potential in the workplace and contribute to a successful, growing economy.

The new partnership, Release Scotland, was recently launched in the Scottish Parliament, with cross-party support from MSPs, and seeks to provide a one-stop shop for employers in Scotland seeking advice and help with recruiting ex-offenders.

We believe in hiring the best people, no matter what their background, and have been actively recruiting from within prisons since 2013. No one has to declare a criminal conviction on our forms, giving applicants a second chance and a fresh start to get back into work.
