The Bar Council is taking steps to tackle bullying and harassment at the Bar. It is supporting the profession by recording and reporting incidents and providing support, such as through Talk to Spot, to prevent bullying, harassment and inappropriate behaviour, and is conducting a Bar-wide review of such behaviour.
Talk to Spot is a secure online tool to support anyone working at and around the Bar to confidentially raise concerns about inappropriate and abusive behaviour.
Talk to Spot can be used if something happens to you, or if you witness an incident. It can be used to raise the alarm about a serious issue, it is a way to get support after something has happened, and it is an effective way of creating a record of – and tackling – inappropriate behaviours.
