[QUOTE="CarinaH, post: 33037, member: 6637"] but if they are not even running VSs, where are they saving costs then? Having to review less applications? Since everyone applying this year will be doing the SQE it’s not like they would have to pay to put anyone through the GDL anymore. I agree with you though, it’s extremely at odds with any D&I objective. Plus by excluding career changers, arguably this is at odds with the equality act considering age is a protected characteristic. It also goes against the Legal Service Act which states “encouraging an independent, strong, diverse and effective legal profession”. Both are part of the SRA’s guidance on equality, diversity and inclusion, which includes recruitment and access. I guess anyone who feels discriminated by it could take it up with the SRA if this is a permanent change. In any case it’s a very disappointing development... [/QUOTE]
