Case Study: Mosaic Ex-Offender Mentoring

Decent Essays
I would like to kindly request a reference.
Yesterday, I went to Prism Youth Project in Garlington to enquire about some voluntary work. (Teaching disengaged young people aged 12-21)) I had a chat with Paul Kilgallon (volunteer coordinator), and I declared my convictions. He said I would be considered for the role and need to show an up to date DBS. It was sent off mid-December by the Mosaic Ex-Offender Mentoring Programme, so I should have it soon.
Paul Kilgallon may contact you regarding my suitability for this role. If you require any further information please get in touch.

    Felons in the Social Work Educational Environment Maggie Clark York College Felons in the Social Work Educational Environment When a person commits an offense that is legally classifiable as a felony, they lose certain rights and privileges that extend after the time that they serve their time for the offense. For example, a felon is no longer allowed to vote, serve on a jury, or apply to become a lawyer in many states (Penaloza, 2012). One of the professions that also follows this standard is the field of social work. For example, Youngstown State University (YSU) in Ohio indicates that while a qualified student with a past felony conviction may be admitted to their Master of Social Work program, they may have difficulty…
