Barristers are to be offered extra help with tough ethical questions that arise in the course of their work, along with guidance on IT and equality and diversity. The Bar Council has launched a new website, the Ethics & Practice Hub, to help barristers and chambers with these issues. The Hub, at www.barcouncilethics.co.uk, can be used on mobile devices, and will supplement the Bar Council’s Ethical Enquiries Service. Andrew Langdon QC, Chair of the Bar, said the council’s Ethical Enquiries Service had received more than 6,500 calls and emails from barristers in the last year.
Meanwhile, some 30 chambers and Bar organisations received a Bar Council Certificate of Recognition for good wellbeing practice last week. The second round of applications opened this week and closes on 1 February 2018.
