Inspired by Jean Hatchet's posts on twitter, I checked mine and colour me shocked, it's been excluded.

Attached below is the list from the EA2010 with my LA's interpretation alongside - note the wording We believe our responsibility for equality is wider than those areas covered by the Equality Act 2010

So removing sex from the list of protected characteristics widens the scope of the EA2010?

So what's your LA equality policy like?

Does your Local Authority Equality Policy exclude sex as a protected characteristic?

"Would anyone be able to offer me advice on how to phrase a complaint?"

Just describe how over the past week this has negatively affected you in practice

Mine replaces sex and gender reassignment with gender as well. So many people think of them as synonyms though. Even on sodding NHS forms. Would anyone be able to offer me advice on how to phrase a complaint?
