These are a few examples of courses in which our members have been involved:
Citadel’s members come from a range of backgrounds and everyone is treated with the same respect as part of our Chamber’s community.
We operate an equal opportunity policy and act in accordance with the Bar Code of Conduct and the Equality Code for the Bar.
We seek to prevent direct or indirect discrimination towards our clients, staff, tenants and pupils, on the grounds of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality or citizenship, political persuasion, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or age.
We support all members who are fortunate enough to become parents. Whilst Citadel has written policies dealing with issues of maternity and paternity leave for members of Chambers and support staff, we also try to be flexible in our approach and to accommodate individual needs.
Uniquely (to our knowledge) we offer direct financial support to members returning from parental leave in order to cushion the cash flow impact of return to practice .
