Ban the Box

Business in the Community’s (BITC) Ban the Box campaign calls on UK employers to give people with criminal convictions a fair chance to compete for jobs by removing the tick box from application forms and instead asking about the convictions later in the recruitment process.

Employers often ask candidates about criminal convictions at the initial stage of a job application. If so, people with convictions are excluded from roles for which they may be qualified and capable of doing. By Banning the Box organisations get: access to a wider, more diverse talent pool; save on; recruitment costs; gain reputational benefit.
