Garden Court Chambers is a founding member of LWC, hosted their launch event on 17 May 2024, and have hosted further training, in collaboration with LWC, including a session on how to develop a trauma informed practice for family practitioners on 4 September 2024. Many of our members are also LWC mentors, providing support and insight to LWC mentees.
Breaking down barriers to provide care-experienced people with the opportunity and guidance to enter the legal profession is an aim which sits side-by-side Garden Court’s longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion.
