Hi Peter,

National Grid will be listed specifically because of a 'Young Offender' Programme they run.

Having said that, we'd be interested in how people get on when they apply to them more generally.

The starting point should be that if they've not asked you to disclose yet, then you don't need to.

You're right to keep an eye out for any disclosure requests, and certainly if they requested a basic disclosure, but in any event this should come back to you, so for the time being, I would sit tight, but you're right that, if they do end up requiring one, it would be better for you to get in there first before any disclosure lands on their mats!

Can we add to the list, please GGG? Dart, maybe this organisation could be of use to your husband. Might be able to point him in the right direction for self employment at least.

Please let the thread know how you get on.

GGG,

It's still worthwhile a conversation with them, they may be able to put you in touch with someone closer to you, location wise. Got to be worth a shot, hasn't it?

GGG,

You're brilliant, dya know this?

Well, Chap, it's there for anyone who needs it, we never know, it might help someone who just happens to be reading and not posting. That's a good thing, right? Blue Sky look like they are very committed to dealing with ex-offenders and it came up straight away when I googled, companies who employ reforming offenders.

Hi Aspire

I haven't managed to do so much research, just finding the ones I have posted on.  However, I think this thread will be useful and should be added to on a regular basis.  I shall see what else I can find. 

Hope you come up with some goodies too.

Greggs have a prison initiative too. At least the pasty tax was worth something at least, for us lot.
