SRA makes diversity data collection easier for firms
updated on 18 July 2013
The SRA has announced that firms can now report their workforce diversity data through a new online facility. This is the second year that the SRA has collected the data and is a requirement of the Legal Services Board, designed to promote transparency and diversity in the legal services market.
SRA Chief Executive Antony Townsend said: "Collecting information about the diversity of staff helps us to build a picture of the diversity of solicitors and others employed in legal services. We encourage firms to explain to their staff why the data is being collected and what will happen to it."
The SRA will publish the aggregated data of the diversity data collection early in 2014. A report on last year’s findings is available here.
