Employment Tribunal Case to Protect Single-Sex Facilities at Work

507 replies

FayeRC · 06/09/2024 13:39

Dear Mumsnet Members,

I have issued an employment tribunal complaint against NHS England to protect single-sex facilities at work.

A preliminary hearing will be held in early October 2024. I would be very grateful for some urgent gardening support at CrowdJustice. I won't add a link here as it is against Mumsnet rules.

It would be interesting to hear other people's views on legislation around single-sex facilities at WORK. However, I won't be commenting much on this public forum whilst the case is on-going.

Yours faithfully,
Faye Russell-Caldicott / FayeRC

The 70k target is for a full ET case, so at the moment I'm just looking to reach an interim target, which is about ~£200 away.

So far, the crowdfunder has covered the legal fees for the first preliminary hearing, responses to further information as requested by the Respondent, medical records, disability impact statement, more further info provided on disability status, and now the second preliminary hearing next week. I only campaign for one step at a time.

Donated some kale plants a few days ago. Hope it goes well.

I've come across this 'computer says no' response a couple of times before. Once was with Premier Inn. The solution there was to give my money to a local, cheaper, family owned and very nice B&B instead. So win, win really.

@StickItInTheFamilyAlbum you're absolutely right i think to be worried about data breaches. And there are plenty of people who won't want to donate to such causes in their own name due to the Sandie Peggie type punishments in their workplace if their sex realism was known.

Yes I do for actual bills etc, but not that I do terfery with. Only one card for that, or I have checks or paypal but apparently crowdjustice isn't willing to accept either of those. I mean how many different options am I expected to have? Why can't crowdjustice have more than one option if they want my money?

Faye if you want a cheque i'm happy to send one direct to your lawyers.

Likewise. I get that it's a go-to site for relatively straightforward funding but I loathe CJ because it doesn't accept a disposable card (I always use them for online payments and anything using a card reader. Too many places have breached data and let people in for identity theft).

I'm even happy to do a bank transfer at this point but I've no idea if that's no help because it would cost the legal firm a certain amount for them to process it etc.

Given how often banks have issues with payments I really recommend having more than one way to make payments, whether that is a credit card from a different provider or 2 bank accounts.

I've pledged today. Thanks for doing this. These recent cases are really getting society to look at what is happening to single sex spaces.

Yes, it's at the last step when it wants an 'authorisation in the app'. The bank is saying they don't require that and there should be a text to phone option but there isn't. Computer says no. Frustrating. Why can't they just have paypal as an option?!!!

More gardening done - don't do Valentine's Day so this seemed a great alternative!

WomanInGrey · 14/02/2025 20:03

Just planted some carrots - hoping Faye hits her goal.

Is there any way to contribute other than crowdjustice? E.g. cheques direct to laywers? I tried to donate but it wants me to authorise payment via an app I don't have and refuse to get (because the imposition of apps like this are excluding my elderly parents from society and forcing me to do everything for them instead, which i don't have time for and they don't want and which is taking away their agency and hastening their decline - the very opposite of 'inclusion').

I've checked with my bank and they say I can still authorise via a code to my phone and the app is not mandatory but crowdjustice only allows the app option and there is no other choice given.

I just donated and was able to authorise via text message, didn't have to use the bank app. If bank are saying there should be the option it may be CJ for your card thats the issue...there should always be an OTP (one time password) option...
It's infuriating trying to solve issue s like this though and get someone to take ownership so hope F can give you another option.

Have huge sympathy. I agree technology is exclusive and have elderly relatives I have to support constantly so can 💯 empathise.

anyolddinosaur · 13/02/2025 07:54

I just make normal payments. However it always tells me I'm donating nothing and if people believe that and dont carry on it can look like you need an app when you dont.

contemporaneousnote · 13/02/2025 07:50

Donated- good luck with this

Ah, I hate apps too. I'll ask the customer team about checks and will DM you if they say they'd be happy to receive it. It is odd though that you can't make a normal card payment as it has been an option for others.

The last weekend before the prel hearing is now approaching, all support would be hugely appreciated, especially sharing the link. ~2.7k to go so not far off.
