The Safety and Wellness committee explores and establishes initiatives designed to promote the wellness and safety of our barristers inside and outside the court room. This includes hearing from our barristers, gathering information, establishing and promoting safety and wellness strategies, organising webinars, training, and online resources, and speaking to stakeholders to pursue and promote systemic change. The current focus of the committee is to understand and address:
- bullying, aggressive and threatening behaviour experienced in the workplace, including in the court room, and including by others in the profession and by clients;
- burnout and taking care of wairua (spirit, soul);
- courtroom safety
