Bar Council immediate past chairman, Geoffrey Vos QC, has been appointed chairman of the trustees of the Social Mobility Foundation (SMF), the charity which helps young people from less privileged backgrounds join the major professions and business. It provides internships in more than 60 different firms and corporations for high-achieving A-level students from low income backgrounds. Vos worked closely with Lord Neuberger to produce the Entry to the Bar Working Party’s report on access to the profession, which looked at the social factors that may deter bright candidates from particular backgrounds from applying to the Bar.
