In conjunction with Cherry Tree
Consultancy Limited
BarMark is a quality management standard owned and managed
by the Bar Council of England and Wales and designed to introduce the principles
of quality management to the operation of barristers' Chambers.
The standard is based on the international standard for
quality management, ISO9001:2008 but has been adapted to specifically reflect
the needs and methods of operation of a barrister's Chambers.
Accreditation is by means of external audit carried out by
the Bar Council's approved external auditors and is valid for three years and
subject to annual review during the validity of the certificate, with a complete
re-assessment being carried out at the end of the three years.
Cherry Tree Consultancy Ltd has extensive experience in
assisting Chambers to prepare for and implement the BarMark standard having over
the years helped in excess of 20% of Chambers who have successfully achieved
accreditation to BarMark.
They offer a complete package of advice, documentation,
training and guidance enabling Chambers once they have achieved accreditation to
manage the ongoing process themselves but are also happy to provide ongoing
internal auditing or other support services.
