Applying for a criminal record suspension (known as a pardon) is a process that limits access to criminal records, thereby promoting social and community reintegration.
As an employee of an organization that provides support for pardon applications, you will act as a facilitator in the application process. You will also support clients by referring them to various resources and serve as an ally in their social and community (re)integration (particularly in employment).
This training will enable community workers to assist individuals with criminal records in their pardon application process.
