    Dr. Rachel Tynan (Unlock UK)

    A key inspiration for the Unlocking Potential Project came from the work of Unlock. Unlock is an award-winning organisation in the UK that provides a voice and support for people with convictions who are facing stigma and obstacles because of their criminal record. Of specific importance is their work on the ‘Fair Chance Pledge’ for universities. To discuss this and the opportunities our complementary work presents, I am delighted to be joined by Dr. Rachel Tynan. Rachel is the policy and practice lead at Unlock and was awarded her PhD in Sociology from Goldsmiths in 2018. She has published widely in this and broader criminal justice areas including her book entitled, ‘Young Men’s Experiences of Long-Term Imprisonment: Living Life’ published by Routledge.

    Joe's experience of Higher Education

    The importance of smoothing the path of admissions to Higher Education for people with convictions is paramount. That is the ‘getting in’ aspect but of equal importance is the ‘getting on’ and completing courses so it is imperative to explore the experiences of students who are currently making their way through Higher Education. To share his experiences of education, past and ongoing, with us, I am grateful to be joined by our guest, Joe Clarke, who is currently studying for a Bachelor’s Degree in Youth and Community Work at Maynooth University.

    GDPR with Dr. TJ McIntyre

    Part of this project’s focus is on compliance with GDPR as some Higher Education Institutions’ admissions policies may not satisfy legal requirements. Some policies look for individuals with convictions to give up information about this part of their past despite this information not being relevant to the course to which they are applying. In this episode, Dr TJ McIntyre joins us to discuss these issues. Dr McIntyre is an Associate Professor in the Sutherland School of Law at University College Dublin and practises as a consultant solicitor with FP Logue Solicitors. He is also the chairperson of the civil liberties group Digital Rights Ireland.
