Kindness at the Bar

Kindness at the Bar - The Report

We were delighted to welcome Circuit members last Thursday (11th September 2025) to the official launch of the second report on Kindness at the Bar.  
 
The Launch Event was held at Red Lion Chambers (who co-sponsored the research with the Circuit) and we were pleased to welcome members both in the room and online to hear Professor Banerjee discuss the findings and for the animated discussion which followed.  For those of you who missed it, please find a copy of the report linked here. The recording of the event will also be available shortly on the Circuit Website.
 
We are grateful to have had, for the first time, the participation of the judiciary, as well as HCA colleagues and we think it makes for interesting reading.
 
We hope that you will agree, and that it sparks good conversation in our robing rooms and chambers about how we can grow kindness and inclusion in our working lives at the Bar.
 
If you have any questions or comments please do get in touch  - we’re always looking for ideas to promote wellbeing and need you to tell us what matters to you!
