This ground breaking half-day course is a must for all practising solicitors, as well as practice managers and support staff.
SRA’s equality and diversity policy and strategy, published in July 2005, aims to show that the Society is committed to the elimination of discrimination and the promotion of equality of opportunity and diversity, and that it expects the same of its members. All solicitors are now bound by the Solicitors’ Anti-Discrimination Rules 2004, and all firms are required to have an Anti-Discrimination policy, so this is not an optional compliance area. SRA might soon make it mandatory for all solicitors to undergo training in this subject but why wait? Many invitations to tender now ask firms to show what equality and diversity training their staff have had.
Led by a leading anti-discrimination lawyer, this course will guide you through the Rules and the underlining legislative framework, and offer practical guidance for the future.
