Public interest reporting on The Recruitment Junction charity
This site documents The Recruitment Junction, an ex offender employment charity, from an independent point of view. It brings together funding data, governance and trustees, safeguarding concerns, key correspondence, and an evidence archive so service users, funders, journalists, and regulators can see the full picture in one place.
Editorial control and publication decisions sit with The Reasonable Adjustment. Cloudflare protection, static build, layout and evidence grade logging are provided by Ki-Ki under its Neutral Infrastructure Policy, which sets out how Ki-Ki separates technical work from editorial positions.
This domain is a transparency project. It is not run by the charity itself and does not claim to represent their views.
How this led to The Reasonable Adjustment and Ki-Ki
From one case to a wider platform
What started as a single complaint about withdrawn support, poor safeguarding, and ignored reasonable adjustments turned into a pattern. The gaps in honesty and governance around The Recruitment Junction made it clear that there needed to be a place where this kind of story could be documented properly, with sources.
That is how The Reasonable Adjustment began, as a public ledger of how institutions treat people when cameras and awards are not around.
Why Ki-Ki exists at all
Once those write ups started attracting serious traffic, it became obvious that organisations needed help with the basics, not just criticism. Domains, DNS, Cloudflare, logs, and static websites were all part of the same story.
Ki-Ki grew out of that realisation. It takes the same obsession with evidence and applies it to web foundations for SMEs, charities, and community projects so other people do not repeat the same mistakes.
What this site covers
Funding and financial transparency
The funding section sets out known income from councils, probation, commissioners, and other public sources linked to The Recruitment Junction. Where public statements differ from payment records, that is clearly shown with references.
This helps funders, journalists, and prospective partners see how the charity presents itself against what official records say about funding and grants.
Governance, trustees, and safeguarding
The trustees section gathers available information about the board, their roles, and their public claims about values, safeguarding, and equality. It links these claims to real world handling of complaints, disabled service users, and risk.
The aim is not drama. It is to give adults enough information to decide whether governance, safeguarding practice, and equality duties match the marketing.

-
Criminal Justice Alliance award context
Background and context around The Recruitment Junction’s Criminal Justice Alliance award, including funding links, governance concerns, and how public messaging at awards lines up with the evidence on this domain.

Why this matters for funders and commissioners
Real world impact on disabled service users
Behind every grant outcome and award photo there are people depending on basic safeguards. Abrupt withdrawals of support, inaccurate statements to probation, and failure to honour equality duties do not stay private in a connected system.
This site joins the dots so commissioners can see how seemingly small choices around communication, casework, and honesty land at the sharp end.
Evidence grade logging for scrutiny
Articles on The Reasonable Adjustment and static builds run through Ki-Ki link back to this domain. Together they provide a stable, time stamped record that can be referred to in safeguarding reviews, equality claims, and future funding decisions.
If you are reading this as a funder, you have enough to start asking focused questions rather than vague “how do you think it went” feedback.
Common questions
Is this the official Recruitment Junction website?
No. The official charity operates at therecruitmentjunction.com and related channels. This domain is controlled by The Reasonable Adjustment, with neutral infrastructure support from Ki-Ki, as an independent public interest project.
Why does this site use their name?
Search traffic, commissioners, and service users look for The Recruitment Junction by name. Using the name with clear labelling and evidence driven content makes it easier for people to see information that would otherwise sit in hidden inboxes.
What if the charity disputes what is written here?
They are free to publish their own evidence, documents, or corrections. Where new verified information is provided, it will be added or linked for context. The focus is on verifiable records, not personal attacks.
Who can make use of this material?
Commissioners, funders, journalists, regulators, safeguarding boards, and affected service users are welcome to rely on the documents and timelines as starting points. Always read source files yourself before drawing firm conclusions.
