In light of the current news we've compiled some information and safety advice for barristers, as well as links to wellbeing and mental health support. We'll keep the information updated. Latest updates: If you have concerns about attending any court or tribunal in-person tomorrow (Thursday), the current advice is to make an application to the court for you to attend remotely or for the hearing to be heard remotely. If you experience any difficulties, please contact us via email at communications@barcouncil.org.uk We have been in contact with HMCTS regarding reports of court and tribunal closures on Wednesday and received the following update from a spokesperson: “A small number of courts and tribunals have taken precautions to ensure all staff and users can travel home safely. Some hearings have been adjourned and will be relisted as soon as possible.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eaK3g_CX

"Our members are literally on the front line of the high street. Their doors open onto the pavement and so we take this very seriously" - Our president Nick Emmerson, speaking on Channel 4 News about the risk to the safety and wellbeing of solicitors following the names of several firms and advice agencies being circulated online. This includes the potential for further disturbance. We have been in contact with the 39 immigration law firms and provided support and guidance on how to remain safe, including working from home today.  If you would like to read our guidance, you can find it here:  https://lnkd.in/eBQkMgSS

#SouthAsianHeritageMonth (18 July - 17 August) South Asian Heritage Month #FreeToBeMe #BarristerLife #Heritage #IntersectionalLens Honoured and Delighted to contribute to NEXT TUESDAY (23 July) evening’s on-line conversation discussing this year’s theme #FreeToBeMe for @InnertempleRES The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple “#FreeToBeMe : Life at the Bar - how Heritage has Influenced the Journey to the Bar and Practice”. Fellow trailblazing panellists: Kiran Channa @NewCourtFamily, Grace Ong @2KBW , Abida Bassam @FamilyLawTeam , Zeenat Islam @TG_Chambers and Zachariah Mia @9BRChambers This will be my first public event where I will be discussing the meshing of my personal and professional life since life events in March, drawing anecdotes from over the past nearly 25 years of my career at the Bar (call, October 1999). The Bar has proven to me why it is a profession that comes together to celebrate, honour and provide love and support in the good times, and the bad times. This sense of community provides the space and energy where I have always been #FreeToBeMe.
