Bar Standards Board Roundtable: Equality Rules consultation

Thursday 19 September 18:00 - 19:00 via MS Teams

 

The BSB are launching a consultation based on the Equality Rules and encourage responses to be submitted. In particular, we shall be seeking views as to whether we should replace the current Core Duty 8 (‘You must not discriminate unlawfully against any person’) with a new, proactive duty to ‘advance equality, diversity, and inclusion’. This new duty would apply to every individual at the Bar and seeks to achieve a step change in behaviours and culture within the profession in relation to equality, diversity, and inclusion. In this roundtable we wish to explore with the employed Bar how this applies in practice.
