Ethical enquiries during the Olympic period

30 July 2012

During the Olympic period the Ethical Enquiries Helpline will operate its normal hours: 09.15 - 17.15. However, due to potential difficulties with transport in and around the Holborn area, it may not be possible for all staff to attend the office. In order to keep the telephone line open for urgent enquiries, we would request that you email all non-urgent ethical enquiries. We will endeavour to respond to all written ethical enquiries during the Olympic period within 3 working days.

• This is confidential guidance line for practising members of the Bar with pressing queries about the Code of Conduct

• The Bar Council has a team of staff who are trained to handle ethical enquiries

• Members of the team can be reached through the Ethical Queries Helpline on 020 7611 1307

• The line is open from 09:15 to 17:15

• Members of the team can also be contacted via email.

Barristers may also wish to refer to the extensive guidance section on this website.

Please note that urgent calls are dealt with immediately. All other barristers will receive a call back as quickly as possible.
