Thank you for agreeing to be involved in our project. We are enormously grateful. Everything you say will remain anonymous. We underline this point because in trying to build a resource that will be of genuine use and comfort to those coming after us, we ask you to trust us with the information that is unlikely to end up on LinkedIn or in glossy career profiles. We hope to draw together the unvarnished (and sometimes ugly) truth of the experience of parenthood at the Bar: the things you admit only to your partner, inner circle of friends, closest colleagues.
There is a place for “Keep Calm and Carry on” wisdom, but that place is not this survey. We invite you to make your answers as long as they need to be. Even if you think otherwise, your experience is valuable.
