Join the Ministry of Justice, The Recruitment Junction and Opencast for an open and free-flowing panel discussion around how hiring managers and HR and people teams can make changes to open up more opportunities for people with convictions.

Panel

  • Beverley Brooks, Founder, The Recruitment Junction
  • Speaker TBC, The Ministry of Justice
  • Sheena Widdowfield, Head of People Engagement and Inclusion, Opencast
  • Moderated by Laura Shuttleworth, Client Relationship Director, Opencast

We will explore:

  • Employer bias and stigma
  • Regulatory barriers and societal challenges
  • Company policy restrictions and opportunities for change
  • How to influence business leaders to unlock the benefits of recruiting people from these backgrounds.

This event is perfect for business leaders, HR and people teams and those in DEI, and will invite views and questions from audience members so you can raise the topics you’d like to address. We aim to inform and inspire attendees to adopt a more open mind and drive the cultural change needed to give people a second chance.
