I work with vulnerable adults in the community who face barriers due to their offending background. I also have a criminal record and all I ever wanted to do is work in my community supporting vulnerable adults. Those barriers are very fearful and frustrating but if you are passionate and you have truly moved on, why shouldn't everyone get a second chance. Its definitely about proving yourself and building trust, it took me a long time to get where I am today but I am now doing the work I love. So don't give up!!!
