Pressure rising for legal professionals

Three out of four family justice professionals say their work-related pressures have increased since the first national lockdown, according to a Resolution survey

The figure is drawn from nearly 1,000 practitioners who have responded so far to a wellbeing survey by the family justice organisation.

The survey is open until 15 November, and can be found at smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ourwellbeing.

The full results will be published early in 2021. Respondents can access a free LawCare webinar on wellbeing.

Resolution’s Chair, Juliet Harvey, said the initial response should serve as a wake-up call: ‘For some practitioners, new ways of working have brought improvements in terms of work-life balance, having more family time available and reduced commutes.

‘But our survey shows that far more have seen work-related pressures increase since the first lockdown started.’
