We consulted the Inns of Court and largest sets to try to better understand how many chambers are accessible for those with any mobility impairment; as well as the challenges chambers face in improving accessibility. In this snapshot report, we’ve established baseline data. We plan to obtain a fresh set of data in 5 years to assess progress against our ambition.
Over the coming years we will:
- Encourage chambers to work to improve access wherever they can
- Ensure all chambers provide much better information about accessibility on their websites
- Assist chambers to plan well in advance what they would do to accommodate a disabled pupil, practitioner or member of staff (rather than waiting until they are asked to make a reasonable adjustment)
