Equality and Diversity

Polaris Chambers are committed to promoting equal opportunities for all, including members, pupils, employees and applicants to Chambers. We do not discriminate against anyone on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, citizenship, gender, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, disability, age, religion or belief or indeed, on any other ground. That said, we are alive to the risk of institutional bias and are committed to learning how to identify and eradicate areas in which there may be a risk of that occurring. We welcome and encourage any suggestions which help us on our learning journey.

This principle extends to our recruitment practices, the treatment of members, pupils and staff in chambers and the service we provide to our clients.

Chambers has a detailed Equality and Diversity policy which is regularly reviewed by the Equality and Diversity committee.

Enquiries regarding the Diversity Data or our approach to equality and diversity should be made to our Compliance Manager and Diversity Data Officers (“DDOs”) please contact our Clerk in the first instance who will put you in touch.
