Kindness at the Bar - Focus Group Volunteers Needed

Kindness at the Bar  has commissioned further research from Professor Banerjee and his team at Sussex University to look at kindness in our workplaces. The research is sponsored by the South Eastern Circuit and Red Lion Chambers.
 
A series of focus group sessions will take place remotely over Teams, for groups of barristers to speak anonymously about their experiences in court and Chambers.
 
The session time is 1 hour (either 8.30am – 9.30am or 5pm – 6pm ) and groups will be facilitated by researchers from the University of Sussex and Valerie Charbit. Full Ethics approval has been obtained and all participation and answers will be anonymised in the final report.
 
Would you like to engage in this research? We are seeking a diverse range of participants at all stages of professional life and from a wide range of practice areas. 
 
Please do contact us ASAP if you are able to help or ask others who may be interested.
 
Session dates are as follows: 

Silks – 8th March 2024 (8.30am – 9.30am only)
Senior Juniors (15 years’ call or above) – 3rd April 2024
Juniors (Below 15 years’ call) – 4th April 2024
Higher Court Advocates – 5th April 2024.
