Access Legal Diversity Tool 2025
We're pleased to announce that our Legal Diversity tool has been updated with the latest 2025 question set and is now available.
What is the Legal Diversity Survey
In July 2011, the Legal Services Board (LSB) issued guidance to regulators on diversity data collection across the legal workforce and the promotion of the transparency of this data at entity level. As a result, all firms regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) are required to collect and report their diversity data every two years.
How to use the Access Legal Diversity Tool
We've created this comprehensive guide which includes everything you need to answer key questions and streamline your experience, including:
How to register - including a direct link to the Access Legal Diversity Tool for easy access
How to pay for your surveys
How to distribute the survey to staff
