In September Virgin Trains was invited to appear in front of the House of Commons Work and Pensions Select Committee to discuss our policies on hiring ex-offenders. The Committee are currently looking at support for ex-offenders leaving prison and approached us to hear about our ex-offender recruitment programme, including the toolkit we launched to advise other employers on the merits of hiring former offenders. Kathryn Wildman, our Lead Recruiter who works on hiring ex-offenders, and Tammy Moreton, an apprentice based at Wolverhampton, gave evidence to the Committee, who then wrote to us following the session to thank us for our contribution. The Committee will publish their final report in the New Year.
