Reasons/basis
Chester and Co is a recognised body whose office is at 661 Christchurch Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH7 6AA.
Firms are expected to take the necessary steps to run their business or carry out their role in a way that encourages equality of opportunity and respect for diversity.
Firms are also required to respond promptly to the SRA and provide full and accurate information following a request or requirement. This includes the requirement to monitor, report and publish workforce diversity data in a prescribed way.
Chester and Co failed to:
- submit to the SRA its workforce diversity data after the SRA asked it to do so
in breach of paragraph 3.3(a) of the Code of Conduct for Firms.
The firm failed to remedy this breach after being given notice and reasonable time in which to do so.
