Ex-Offenders Deserve Level Playing Field – continued from page 10 and the value to business and society of providing employment to ex-offenders.


Economist and Prisonomics author Vicky Pryce, who spent two months in prison for taking former husband and cabinet minister Chris Huhne‘s motoring penalty points, is a strong advocate of providing employment opportunities to those with a criminal record.


Vicky Pryce is an advocate for Business In The Community‘s Ban the Box campaign, which promotes a level playing field for jobseekers with criminal records by urging organisations to remove criminal check boxes when recruiting. Launched in October 2013, the Ban the Box campaign has the backing of 15 organisations and shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan.


HR magazine caught up with Pryce recently at the BITC's Responsible Business Week in London. Read more

Workplace Violence Awareness Month The Alliance Against Workplace Violence Kicks Off New Campaign to Establish Workplace Violence Awareness Month


Workplace violence persists as a problem in our workplaces. It is our strong belief that the best way to prevent violence in the workplace is to increase awareness of the problem as well as the ways to reduce or prevent it. With this focus in mind, we instituted Workplace Violence Awareness Month to be held in April of each year.


During April we disseminate information to the public and encourage other violence prevention advocates and professionals to do so as well. Local government has issued a proclamation each year in observance of the month, and we are continuing to request a national proclamation from the White House.


Join us in the fight to stop workplace violence. Sign-up today at: www.workplaceviolenceawareness.org.
