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.
