Pupil Supervisors Training

Training for established practitioners to allow them to oversee a pupillage in chambers or in authorised Pupil Training Organisations.

An in-person, three-hour training session for those who are either taking on a pupil for the first time as a supervisor, or needing to refresh their training (after a period of 5 years). The course meets the outcomes set by the Bar Standards Board.

The first part of the course is a series of talks including:

  • Wellbeing during Pupillage
  • Pupillage and EDI
  • BSB requirements and updates
  • Tips from current supervisors on Being an effective Pupil Supervisor
  • Recent pupils giving their feedback and tips on what works and what doesn’t
  • The Inns’ Pupil Advocacy Training

The second part of the course is small-group discussion of a range of scenarios that may be faced by pupil supervisors, and how you might deal with them. There will be separate groups for new pupil supervisors and those doing refresher training.
