Aspiring barristers are less likely to secure a pupillage if they're from a minoritised ethnic group or if neither of their parents has a degree. We spoke to pupillage recruiters for @barstandards to understand how they are trying to redress the balance... tinyurl.com/5efedfdm

Fabulous to see our engagement for the @GeneralChiroCouncil informing the development of a registrant toolkit #chiropractic #DutyofCandour
There is a clear expectation that all health and social care professionals, including chiropractors, must act with transparency and honesty throughout a patient's care. Following the publication of the candour guidance last September, we have recently created a new toolkit on candour 📑 Find practical guidance in the toolkit here 👉 bit.ly/48PlhTj. #Chiropractic #DutyofCandour

We know lots of support organisations have already helped us with this survey we are running for Portsmouth Water but if anyone else would like to have their say we would love to hear from them @ActionHants. We make a £5 donation to WaterAid for every completed survey.
