She has also launched another campaign to address the misinformation put out across the country. Please note this campaign is not on the same site as her court case campaign.
We now turn our attention to the other side of the equation and a related vital task for which we need to raise funds.
The other side, is the organisations on the receiving end of that misguidance. AEA called on the EHRC to make a public statement about the corrections and for selective organisations to be individually informed. Instead, the changes were made quietly. The EHRC didn’t even post a notice on its website. No organisation, apart from AEA, was informed.
EHRC’s incorrect guidance stood for almost 10yrs. During that time, the guidance was accessed by many hundreds, probably many thousands, of organisations. The misguidance was further disseminated by management consultancies, training agencies and lobby groups. Misinformation has thus been spread far and wide and is replicated in the equality policies of all types of organisations throughout the country.
That needs to be redressed!
AEA stopped EHRC from promulgating incorrect guidance. We now want to let organisations know that they have been misled. Organisations need to be given accurate information about the Equality Act and the single-sex exception, so that they understand how to bring their policies and practices into compliance with the law.
Please help AEA deal with both sides of the equation!
