Equality Diversity and Inclusion
Charterhouse works within the relevant statutory, regulatory and professional frameworks in relation to equality and diversity, recognising that those with certain protected characteristics (e.g those with disabilities; those with caring responsibilities; and those in older age groups) are afforded protection from various types of discrimination in relation to recruitment through to flexible working and reasonable adjustments under equalities legislation.
Chambers shall accommodate pupils’ requests for flexible working hours for example in order to allow for childcare commitments.
Charterhouse has established a bursary in memory of one of our barristers which is a financial package to assist a pupil starting out with the purchase of books and equipment.
Charterhouse believes in fair recruitment as borne out by experience that the most suitable and best candidates are those with potential seen in the moment, irrespective of background, race etc.
Charterhouse Pupil Supervisors ensure adherence to Fair Recruitment principles and through chambers commitment to its Equality and Diversity policy.
Charterhouse recruitment continues to exceed the national averages for minorities at the Bar.
Charterhouse has established links at local universities and education establishments in order to further explore relationships and pathways for prospective barristers by making Charterhouse and its barristers accessible. Pupils are actively encouraged to assist to share their experiences and offer insight and advice.
