 The Bar Council is inviting barristers in England and Wales to complete a survey about their working lives, in order to ensure it is meeting their professional needs.

The Bar Council’s Working Lives survey is due to launch on 20 April 2021. Covering topics such as career progression, working practices and wellbeing, the anonymous results will inform the Bar Council’s policies and training programmes going forward.

Derek Sweeting QC, Bar Council chair, said: ‘This is a census for the Bar. Although, unlike the national census, there’s no mandatory requirement to participate in it, it’s an opportunity for individual barristers to tell us, their representative body, their experiences of life at the Bar and give us a clear indication of what they need from us to support their respective practices and make life at the Bar easier.’
