The recommendations of Glasgow City Employers Advisory Group on Ex-offenders were launched yesterday morning. I attended this event as a member of the Glasgow Community Justice Authority.
There was a discussion about the ways to support improvements to offender/ex-offender employability in Glasgow. The launch was supported by businesses and developed by a partnership between Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Community Justice Authority.
The report aims to support efforts to prevent re-offending. Proposals have been identified to enable people with criminal convictions access training, gain work experience, and link to employment advice leading to a job.
A more streamlined and coordinated approach to supporting employers has been recognised as vital to assist ex-offenders gain employment.
