Brick Court Chambers equality of opportunity and diversity
Brick Court Chambers is committed to equality of opportunity. It is our policy to treat everyone equally and fairly regardless of their background, racial group, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality, religion or belief, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation or disability. Please click here to see copies of policies we have in place.
Brick Court Chambers has conducted a survey in accordance with the Bar Standards Board Code of Conduct, in order to collect and publish equality and diversity data. The BSB rules aim to provide transparency in recruitment and to encourage diversity in the profession.
The survey was conducted anonymously and participation was voluntary, as required by the BSB rules. Approximately 71 percent of the workforce participated in the survey, and the data set below is based on the responses actually received. Total numbers may differ from category to category because a response to each question was voluntary. Data is not published where its publication might reasonably lead to the identification of individuals.
