OUR SECRET RECIPE FOR REBUILDING LIVES

The Concept

Metamorphic Regeneration is the process of renewal and growth to bring about positive life changing transformation.

The Definitions

“Meta” means “Change”. “Morph” means “form”. In general terms, however “Metamorphic” refers to a type of rock which has been changed by extreme heat and pressure. We however, deal with people, and in that limited context, “Metamorphic” refers to “Change of Form” of “People” who are going to through life-changing transformation.

Regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration, and growth that makes our participants resilient to ups and downs of life natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage.

Criminal record reform to help ex-offenders into work

SecondInnings

Rehabilitation of offenders to be boosted by removing barriers to employment. The proposed reforms recognise that the longer someone goes without committing a further crime, the lower the risk they will reoffend.

Highlights

Ex-offenders striving to turn their lives around through work will be backed by new legislation changing what they must disclose to employers.

For the first time, some sentences of over four years will no longer have to be disclosed to employers after a specified period of time has passed.

The period of time for which shorter sentences and community sentences have to be revealed to employers will be scaled back

They will only apply to non-sensitive roles, with separate and stricter rules for those working with children or vulnerable adults, as well as national security roles or positions of public trust. 

This change will not apply where offences attract the most serious sentences, including life, or for serious sexual, violent and terrorism offences.

Background

David Lammy MP found that current rules are “trapping offenders in their past, denying dependents an income, and costing the tax-payer money.”

Regular work is a major factor in breaking the cycle of crime but many ex-offenders find it impossible to get a job, with just 17% in employment a year after release from prison, and as half of employers would not consider hiring an ex-offender.

Secretary of State for Justice, David Gauke, said:

The responsibility, structure and support provided by regular work is an essential component of effective rehabilitation, something which benefits us all by reducing reoffending and cutting the cost of crime.

That’s why we are introducing reforms to break barriers faced by ex-offenders who genuinely want to turn their lives around through employment.

While these reforms will help remove the stigma of convictions, we will never compromise public safety. That is why separate and more stringent rules will continue to apply for sensitive roles, including those which involve working with children and vulnerable adults.
