SRA Diversity Survey 2025
In 2011 the Legal Services Board published their decision paper on increasing diversity and social mobility in the legal workforce.
Firms must collate and report their diversity data to the SRA every two years, this requirement applies to all firms regulated by the SRA, including sole practices, recognised bodies and alternative business structures.
Once the data has been collated the SRA will publish the diversity profile of the profession on its website, and report back to the Legal Services Board.
Coming Soon: Access Legal Diversity Survey Tool
As a regulated firm, it is your responsibility to undertake this survey. To facilitate this process, we’re excited to announce that our online SRA Diversity Survey tool will soon be available to help streamline data collection and reporting.
The system enables you to:
Collect and collate all necessary data safely and anonymously.
Staff members can complete surveys from their smartphones or mobile devices.
Monitor and manage survey completion.
Receive a detailed report based on the collected survey data, formatted appropriately for submission to the SRA.
We’ll be sharing further updates once this fantastic tool is available.
