The Bar Standards Board is committed to developing a quality assurance scheme to monitor chambers for compliance with the requirements laid down in the Code of Conduct and to promote quality in practice management and administration. The Board intends for the scheme to:
In order to assess how such a scheme might work in practice for all chambers, the Board is running a pilot monitoring scheme focusing on three areas:
These areas have been chosen as the focus for the pilot for two reasons. First they are subject to clearly defined requirements of the Code of Conduct, the Equality Code and Consolidated Regulations. Second, there are areas where, the BSB has concerns over consistency of compliance and administration across the Bar. A representative sample of 35 sets of chambers, including chambers of differing size, location and practice areas, have been selected to take part in the pilot, which will run during the course of 2008.
A report on the pilot scheme will be published in early 2009 and it is anticipated that, pending the findings, a scheme for all chambers will be implemented in January 2010.
If you have any queries about the scheme, please contact Oliver Hanmer, Head of Quality and Standards on 020 7611 1444 or email ohanmer@barstandardsboard.org.uk
