The number of women and people of colour in senior roles within conveyancing is still ‘unsatisfactory’, the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) has said

The CLC launched a consultation this week, proposing two main changes to its Equality Code. First, it would introduce a requirement compelling regulated practices to ‘cooperate with the CLC in the collection and analysis of data about their workforce and owners as may be required by the CLC from time to time’.

Second, practices would be required to ‘report any instances of complaints of discrimination, victimisation or harassment whether as an employer or service provider’, and keep records to enable them to do so.

Sheila Kumar, CLC chief executive, said: ‘These proposals are intended to deliver, and maintain, positive improvements by giving the CLC more levers to effect change and we are keen to hear what people think.’

The consultation, Equality Code Review, ends on 30 August.
