Outreach: How to Get Involved
The North Eastern Circuit has a long and proud tradition of visiting schools, colleges, and universities to talk about the life and work of a barrister — helping to inform, inspire, and occasionally entertain the next generation of advocates.
Building on this legacy, the Diversity Hub has created a new suite of interactive outreach materials, including our Your Day in Court case scenarios. These resources allow students to step into the shoes of barristers, role‑playing fictitious but fun courtroom situations to experience how legal decision‑making works in practice.
Members of Circuit interested in participating in an Outreach visit should contact Glenn Parsons, Chair of the NEC Diversity Outreach Programme - parsons@psqb.co.uk
NEC Diversity and Equality Feature Film
This is a ground-breaking resource funded by the North Eastern Circuit, in partnership with the four Inns of Court and the Bar Council. It is aimed at school and college age students and is designed to encourage as many as possible, to see the Bar as a potential career for them, regardless of their backgrounds. It is also our ultimate aim that the film should be available in every school in the country. Therefore, if you have any connections to any educational establishments, then please feel free to pass the link on to them.
Thereafter, if anyone wanted further information, then please contact Glenn Parsons or Celine Delal Kart, at the following designated email address: diversity@northeasterncircuit.co.uk. People can also follow us on Instagram #necdiversity&equality.
Finally, can I thank our then-Leader of Circuit, Richard Wright QC, the Treasurer Gill Batts, our Director Matthew Harding and producer Philippa Pudney, as well as the Inns, the Bar Council and everyone on the NEC for making this exciting project possible. Last but not least, can I thank all the contributors for telling their stories.
Regards and best wishes
