Young offender
Worried about someone who has a conviction? Want to support them but not sure where to start?
Our advisers can help you support them, including:
- How to tell employers about convictions; see also finding work with a criminal record on The Mix and support for individuals on the NACRO site - the crime prevention and criminal record support service
- Information on Universal Credit and other benefits; see also information on GOV.UK
- Raising of the Participation Age (RPA) means that you must stay in learning until at least your 18th birthday.
