The Bar Standards Board has published the final report on its chambers monitoring pilot scheme. The Board has committed to developing a quality assurance scheme to monitor compliance by chambers with the Code of Conduct. The pilot scheme tested the proposed approach to chambers monitoring and ran from June until November 2008. It involved a representative sample of 35 sets of chambers and focussed on compliance requirements in respect of chambers complaints handling, pupillage and equality and diversity.
The headlines from the report are:
The Board has asked its Quality Assurance Committee to review the pilot scheme and put forward proposals for the future development of the scheme. The Committee will report to the Board by June 2009 and updates will be provided on the Board’s website.
