redemption disclosure 

Confidential documentation of past transgressions for which one is contrite. This includes documentation of the evidence of your growth journey and restitution so concerned parties (like a company or board of directors) can be prepared in case you get called out for something that is actually old news and no longer a reflection of who you are today. It's an antidote for being called out for something you already served time for (literally or metaphorically) or that you have genuinely learned from. It's not guaranteed to prevent being cancelled, but it's better protection than being called out and pretending it never happened.

I submitted my redemption disclosure to my company today. I sure hope the people who saw me in blackface at that party in 1982 don't call me out.
