Testimonials

Just some of the comments we have received for our advice and training around the area of Disclosure in Northern Ireland.

“The expertise and advice you and Niacro have offered employers has really helped people understand the impact their recruitment process can have on someone with a criminal conviction.“

“Thank you for your email and the sanity check I really needed. I do believe the systems and personal prejudice are failing offenders all over the place. I just want to get on with my life and provide a normal life for my wife and 5 children. Just so glad your organisation exists as I really wouldn't know what to do. “

“It’s C, we spoke a few days back and can't thank you enough for taking the time to speak to me and not judging me on the past meant a lot. Relaxed me for the first time in weeks.“

“This information has been really helpful. There are quite a few of us interested so it will be very welcomed here.”

“Just to let you know I wrote to them (DBS) and submitted supporting documents, references, educational achievements, work records (NHS) etc and I am pleased to say they removed me from the barred list. I’d be happy to help someone else if they face this.”

“Thank you so much- you were the first person I told when it came back all clear. No further updates other than that I start work this coming Friday and I’m really looking forward to it. Again, thank you for everything.”

“Many thanks for taking my call today and providing very helpful advice, it is great to have you as a Disclosure Specialist to help us.“

“The resource you provided was truly invaluable! Such a valuable resource to now have. Thanks ever so much for your support. Will be in touch again; I am sure for advice.“

“Thanks for giving me clear advice which will help me move on from this.“

“Great speaking with you. Thank you so much for this. I’ve circulated amongst my team too and it is very appreciated. Thanks a million.“
