Equality & diversity

East Anglian Chambers is totally committed to the implementation and promotion of equal opportunities and to ensuring that there is no direct or indirect discrimination within Chambers on the grounds of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, belief, political persuasion, age or disability in relation to:

• The recruitment of tenants, pupils and staff
• The treatment of tenants, pupils and staff - both professionally and socially
• Relations between tenants, pupils and staff - both professionally and socially
• The treatment of lay and professional clients.

To this end this policy provides the framework for the promotion of equal opportunities and the internal resolution of complaints involving all members of Chambers, whether tenants, pupils or staff. Underlying this policy is our intention to ensure that all individuals are accorded equal dignity and respect and are judged on their merit and abilities alone.

Chambers welcomes and encourages applications for tenancy, pupillage or staff appointments from individuals who may have a disability. It is aware however  that accessibility may be an issue for some  who would wish to apply. Chambers is very happy therefore to discuss what reasonable adjustments it may be able to make to accommodate individual needs.

Chambers recognises that ensuring there is equality of opportunity and encouraging diversity benefits both the individual and the organisation.
