In order to achieve our objective of advancing education among Black, Asian and other ethnic minorities and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, we provide a myriad of opportunities; encourage diversity and social mobility through our Legal Gateway scheme. All our career development opportunities, including two national programmes for young people - Today’s Children, Tomorrow’s Lawyers, First Headstart and Legal Launch Pad – and our mentoring programme – Make a Difference, Be the Difference - fall within our Legal Gateway Scheme.

For more detailed information about the Legal Gateway Scheme please see our Changing Lives, Transforming Businesses booklet.

“We are delighted to be working with BLD on the Today’s Children Tomorrow’s Lawyers programme.  We said at the launch that, if we want our future to be in the hands of bright resourceful adults, we need to encourage bright resourceful children to be ambitious and to succeed.  TCTL gives us a chance to offer that encouragement, provide information and refresh our own ideas”.
