Make a referral
If you are working with a woman with experience of the criminal justice system, you can make a referral for her to receive expert employability support from Working Chance.
Referral criteria
We welcome referrals for anyone in England and Wales who has a conviction, and who identifies as a woman or non-binary.
You're more than welcome to get in touch before you fill in the form. That way, we can guide you through the process and make sure that everything is smooth and efficient.
-
We are the right service for a woman who is ready to work. That means something different for everyone, but put simply, where other serious needs must be met first (like housing or substance misuse), we probably aren't the service for her.
-
Every woman we support is at the point in her journey that she is ready to move on from her convictions and the events that led her there.
-
At the minute, most of our support is delivered remotely, through Zoom or over the phone, so she'll need a device and a reliable internet connection. But if that's likely to be a problem, please get in touch anyway and we'll see what we can do.
For organisations
If you are an organisation working with a woman with experience of the criminal justice system who might benefit from our support, please fill in the form or email referral@workingchance.org
I didn’t know what to expect, but today has shown me that I’m not on my own.
