In this episode of The Big Green Q&A, host Dan Brown, Strategic Relationship Manager for GQA Qualifications chats about second chances with Simon Smith, External Quality Assessor for GQA Qualifications, Amina Bodhania, Head of Partnerships and Business Improvement at Novus - Foundations for Change and Paul Walmsley, Intervention Specialist & Child Criminal Exploitation Consultant at Nobody Left Behind.
They explore the disconnect that some students experience with the school system, the reasons behind this, and the lure of bad influencers that can lead them into crime.
Additionally, they scrutinize the journey of individuals serving sentences in prisons, draw parallels between learning, social disconnection, and the role of education in rehabilitation. Education becomes a crucial aspect in preparing those leaving prison for swift job acquisition, ultimately reducing the risk of reoffending.
They highlight success stories—individuals they have successfully reached, who have transformed adversity into positivity, cultivating fulfilling careers that bring positive change and stability into their lives.
