Unconscious Bias Training
Designed specifically for barristers, clerks and other employees working in chambers.
Unconscious bias refers to the mental shortcuts that our minds make which can lead to unfair and incorrect judgements being made about people, which are outside of our conscious awareness or control.
Each person will have subconscious thoughts which define people into social groups and categorise those who do not belong as ‘other’. This behaviour pattern is unavoidable, but it becomes a problem when unconscious biases lead us to discriminate against the ‘other’ group.
This Unconscious Bias Training has been created to explore how these types of discrimination can manifest at the Bar and aims to raise awareness of when your unconscious bias is in play and how this can negatively impact your colleagues and clients, your workplace and even your career.
