NIACRO

This 2-hour online training course is designed to assist employers in developing safe, fair, and consistent recruitment practices and better understand what having a conviction means when it comes to employment. It will help them to ensure compliance with legislative requirements, assess risks, dispel myths concerning people with convictions, and enable employers to make informed decisions when deciding whether to employ people with convictions. 

NIACRO is inviting expressions of interest for places on our accredited training course Supporting Women Through and Beyond the Criminal Justice System which we will be running from 24th January 2024 at Holywell Trust in Derry/Londonderry. We are offering 10 subsidised places for Derry and Strabane-based CVS organisations that support women involved in the CJS.

INVITATION Join us for this free CPD-accredited half-day seminar spotlighting the roles that NIACRO, employers, and agencies can play to collectively support people with convictions to gain meaningful employment, and through this to help reduce offending and benefit NI society.

Are your recruitment processes up to date for applicants with criminal records? Our CPD-certified online training is designed for anyone with an HR or employee recruitment function. Getting it right can benefit your organisation and help to reduce crime.

Does your work involve supporting women who are involved with the Criminal Justice System (CJS)? At NIACRO we understand how important access to community-based support is for women and we are committed to strengthening those support structures. Our new accredited training course will help you understand and effectively respond to the specific needs and issues that women involved in the CJS experience, helping them to gain the most benefit from the community-based support services you offer.

Employers are often concerned about employing people with convictions. NIACRO has developed this CPD Certified training to help employers understand the law and feel more confident to make informed decisions when deciding whether to employ people with convictions. It will be of interest to Managers, Trustees, employers, HR Officers, and anyone involved in employee recruitment processes.

This is a key consultation for NIACRO, so please engage - this legislation needs to be changed as it does effect so many people in so many ways.
