About the course
Developed by our Race Panel, this introductory training course covers anti-racism and is designed to raise awareness of race equality issues at the Bar. We give a summary of your legal and regulatory duties with respect to race as well as introducing different types of racism. You'll be guided through a series of practical exercises and scenarios drawn from the experience of barristers from ethnic minority backgrounds, providing an invaluable starting point for further training and education on race.
