At Middle Temple, we are acutely aware that some people experience inappropriate behaviour, language, and harassment at the Bar. Of particular concern to any responsible institution are instances which indicate institutional, ingrained, improper attitudes and abuses of power. These require sustained action to address. There may also be singular instances of inappropriate behaviour or remarks, be they deliberate or inadvertent, that can be more easily resolved. Both, however, are important to address and must be taken seriously.
