We’ve recently published the following resources:
- Good practice guide, highlighting the principles that can underpin a provider’s criminal convictions policy, under which contexts it is appropriate to ask an applicant about their criminal convictions, and what questions can be asked.
- A detailed briefing from Unlock on the criminal justice system, providing information and guidance to universities and colleges considering whether and/or how to ask applicants about their criminal record.
- A guide highlighting scenarios and how to apply best practice.
- A flowchart to support the good practice guide, to help you formulate your position on asking applicants for information about their criminal convictions.
