Ex-Offenders Legislation

According to research by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, approximately one third of the UK's working population are ex-offenders, and roughly 100,000 people leave prison each year. Understanding relevant employment law is therefore crucial for any business manager or HR specialist. Ex-Offenders Legislation provides an overview of the regulations and procedures employers must follow when recruiting, selecting and employing people with a criminal record. This course will help ensure that a business is compliant with ex-offenders legislation and promote, in turn, a culture of forward-thinking, non-discriminatory practice. Who is the course for? This course is appropriate for anybody who manages people or has responsibility for recruitment and selection. There are no formal entry requirements, but the course is most suitable for people
