1 BARMARK Requirements Replacing QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR CHAMBERS Page 1
2 INTRODUCTION TO THE BARMARK REQUIREMENTS Thank you for taking the time to request or download a copy of the BARMARK Requirements. BARMARK was launched on 5 July 1999, in order to recognise good practice management within chambers. The scheme is voluntary and is independently assessed by the British Standards Institution (BSI), with the final decision on awards taken by the Bar Councilʹs BARMARK Panel. This document represents a streamlining of the written requirements for BARMARK, which were previously contained in the Quality Assurance Document. This streamlining has been achieved without losing any actual requirements or important detail. We are sure that by providing your chambers with clearer requirements and guidance, the Bar Council will greatly be assisting you with the implementation of the requirements. The BARMARK Requirements are divided into the following sections: Section 1: Section 2: Section 3: Section 4: Section 5: Section 5A: Management Responsibility Client Care Finance Premises and Facilities Personnel and Equal Opportunities Pupillage Administration and Tenancy Selection. For ease of reference, you will find that information on the individual requirements, and the guidance on how these requirements should be implemented, are contained within separate columns. We would like to thank John Hele from BSI and Christine Kings and Stephen Graham from Outer Temple Chambers, for their hard work in drafting the BARMARK Requirements. Any queries on the BARMARK Requirements should be addressed to Alex Straker at The Bar Council: High Holborn, London WC1V 7HZ, DX: 240 LDE. E mail AStraker@BarCouncil.org.uk Page 2

The constitution could include : BARMARK review Rules for the chambers Financial arrangements Decision making processes. II. III. IV. There is a policy statement setting out core values and aims, objectives and standards for Chambers that is reviewed annually. The decision making structure is defined in writing, including the responsibilities and authority of the Head of Chambers and individual barristers, committees and support staff, for all activities of the chambers. There shall be a detailed Business Plan for one year ahead which is reviewed throughout the year and an outline plan for at least the next year or further years if appropriate. The chamber s policy statement should be reviewed at management meetings to look for improvement and innovation, and to ensure that objectives are being met. This could be shown through the use of organisation charts. Responsibility for monitoring and implementation of the plan and policies should be allocated. We would recommend that reviews be carried out quarterly. V. Planning anticipates future staff and resource requirements. Planning, facilities and resources should be reviewed and revised in the light of changing service delivery. VI. VII. VIII. IX. All barristers and support staff are aware and committed to the policy and plan. The management system shall be clearly documented. Arrangements for periodic meetings of Chambers, Management Committee and any other sub committee are agreed and set out, together with reporting processes. Chambers policies, plans and guidelines for their achievements have been developed and progress on their achievement is reported. Some method of showing the commitment would be useful. It is very useful for a chambers to have some form of manual that explains their systems and how they are controlled. There should be an explanation of how meetings are carried out and what their purpose is. This could be included in the Constitution. These should be reported as appropriate throughout the chambers.
