The Bar Council has appointed former solicitor general Harriet Harman KC to chair an independent review of bullying and harassment, including sexual harassment, at the Bar
The Bar Council commissioned the review in response to its report ‘Bullying, harassment and discrimination at the Bar 2023’, which found 44% of respondents had experienced or witnessed bullying, harassment or discrimination in the previous two years.
The review is due to report in June 2025. Bar Council chair Sam Townend KC said: ‘I encourage everyone to feed into the review to give us the best opportunity to change culture and find effective solutions.’
