Has there been an increase in the number of criminal records checks for engineers in recent years? Factor out jobs which require working with children or vulnerable adults, or those requiring certain types of security clearance.
If a person who has previously served a prison sentence wanted to study for a degree in engineering, then would you recommend it or would it be pointless because they could never use it in the real world?
I am interested in knowing what the optimum level of qualifications is for an ex-con in Britain and how they compare with other developed countries. There is anecdotal evidence from Unlock that other western European countries are better when it comes to rehabilitating ex-cons and more lenient when it comes to them getting quality or professional careers than the UK is.
