Equal Opportunities

Chambers runs an equal opportunities policy, which is reviewed regularly and is in line with the Equality Code provided by the Bar Council and of the Bar Code of Conduct. This ensures that no member of Chambers, whether tenant, pupil, squatter or member of staff will discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on the grounds of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality, citizenship, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, religion or political persuasion.

Chambers is committed to take positive steps to identify and eliminate possible areas of discrimination so as to ensure equality of access to all applicants, equality of treatment to all barristers and members of staff and equality of service to both professional and lay clients.

The distribution of work is carried out in a fair manner and selection of counsel is on the basis of the skills and experience required for the particular case.

In recruitment, no applicant for pupillage or tenancy is discriminated against in the arrangements that are made for the purpose of determining to whom it should be offered, or in respect of any terms on which it is offered or refused. The procedure is transparent, is not subject to change during the selection process, is based on objective and explicit criteria which relate to the demands of the work, is free, at all stages, from assumptions based on stereotypical views or expectations of the behaviour and characteristics or any particular group, and reflects the views of a broad spectrum of people. Save in the exceptional circumstances, this policy is applied equally to all potential recruits.

Chambers ensures that there is equality of opportunity for pupils and tenants and has a policy in respect of parental leave and returning parents.
