Race Equality Statement

New Park Court Chambers Race Equality Statement

New Park Court Chambers recognises the unique role it can play, as bastions of justice, in challenging racism. We embrace the Bar Standards Board’s anti-racist activism and commit to ensuring that our workplace, people and environment rejects racism and promotes race equality.

In doing so we commit to:

• Establishing a Race Equality Group within Chambers that champions race equality and holds Chambers to account for its associated culture and behaviours.
• Implementing race equality positive action measures. These include, for example, our supporting the Black Interns initiative by hosting, mentoring and coaching black aspiring barristers – who are significantly underrepresented in the sector.
• Ensuring that the entirety of the Chambers family undertake comprehensive race equality training.
• Continuing to drive regional change through active membership in the North East Circuit Diversity Outreach Network.

This statement will be reviewed annually by the CEO.
