📣 December update - What we have been up to

Whilst we're focused on doing more in 2026, we wanted to share some of the work we have been doing. Here are a few highlights from the past few months.



BRIEFED e-learning module launch


In September 2025, we launched an e-learning module in collaboration with Briefed.


The Neurodiversity & The Bar training is designed to empower barristers, chambers and professionals alike to support neurodivergent colleagues and clients. The 12-module course provides an understanding of legal responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 and guidance on adapting practices accordingly.

Meeting Future Barristers at the Pupillage Fair


In October, we attended the Bar Council's Pupillage Fair. This was an exciting opportunity to meet prospective students exploring a career at the Bar and have meaningful conversations about how neurodivergence can be better supported.



Shortlisted for the Zurich Municipal Awards


On 29 November, we attended the Zurich Municipal Diversity and Inclusion Awards 2025. We were so happy to have been shortlisted as just one of 20 finalists out of hundreds of applicants. It was amazing to connect with so many experts in charities and to receive such kindness and encouragement from the team at Zurich Municipal.
