Workforce diversity data deadline approaching
More than 6,000 law practices have still not filed their workforce diversity data online—with only two weeks to go.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) warned this week that firms must comply by 31 January. To date, only 3,954 firms have done so.
Firms are required to collect diversity data on their firm’s workforce profile each year, report it to the SRA, and publish a summary.
Mehrunnisa Lalani, the SRA’s director of inclusion, says: “We are urging firms to complete their survey as soon as possible—or face regulatory action for non-compliance.
“We have put a lot of guidance of our website including a sample questionnaire that firms can use; a quick guide; a user guide; guidance on how to complete the questionnaire on mySRA, as well as a helpful questions and answers section.”
