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

We're going to try anonymity again now instead of leaving it till Feb.

Crowdfunding still needed on this side of Christmas, as we've got work to do. Disability impact statement is next. I'd be grateful if people could keep sharing the link.

Just to bump.

Seems a few on facebook are sharing to help with the gardening!

Happy to do what I can to help.

Dear all,

I'd be grateful for your support in late October and early November so that I could cover the costs of responding to the Request for Further Information (made by the Respondent), preparing a disability impact statement and submitting relevant medical records.

More importantly, I'd be grateful, if you shared my story with your connections again.

Please search for Faye Russell-Caldicott at crowdjustice (MN doesn't allow links).

Thank you,
Faye

Thanks all, I'm alright, it just shows how none of these processes have been designed with victims in mind, I'm not even a claimant in a criminal trial against a perpetrator, sometimes I really feel for those women.

Some early morning gardening done again - incensed that this is something you should have to fight for.

YellowRoom · 17/10/2024 22:10

That's really shit - having to make yourself so vulnerable to stand up for something you believe in x

FarriersGirl · 17/10/2024 22:03

Well done so far. I know this is hard but you also have real courage. Will be dropping off some carrots tomorrow!

Pleasealexa · 17/10/2024 19:05

Gardening done. Thank you for doing this

ArabellaScott · 17/10/2024 18:54

I hope you have plenty of support, OP. This must be very difficult, you have all my sympathies.

The thought of making a disability statement is quite daunting. I've spent well over a decade trying not to think about it, which is a PTSD symptom. Not that PTSD respects that boundary! Now I need to verbalise intense feelings to a bunch of random people.

Thank you for the update. More gardening to be done

backslashruby · 16/10/2024 15:12

Another couple of carrots planted. Good luck OP.

Dear All,

We’ve had our first preliminary hearing now. The judge allowed us to make some amendments to the claims but has listed another preliminary hearing in February 2025 to decide on the remaining outstanding matters, such as a list of issues and anonymity application. I’m now raising funds for the the legal fees to cover next steps in the process, such as my disability status, requests for further information and costs of another preliminary hearing. I would be grateful, if you could please share with your contacts the map to the allotment site and sow some seeds. Thank you!

Just done a bit of gardening.

Thank you. thank you so much for what you're doing.

I really hope you are granted anonymity. This is such an important case. I'll be happy to donate again if it goes further.

anyolddinosaur · 21/09/2024 10:44

Just a note of caution - employment tribunals dont like granting anonymity. I'm happy to dig deep for this if it does.

GoogleWhacking · 21/09/2024 08:31

Just dug!!

kittylion2 · 20/09/2024 11:35

Just done a tiny bit of digging - good luck. 🤞

Naomi Cunningham - oh dear, I almost feel sorry for the opposition! It could end up resembling Mike Tyson vs Sister Wendy...

Hi all,

very pleased to announce that I'll be represented by solicitor Elizabeth McGlone from didlaw and Naomi Cunningham, barrister from Outer Temple. I feel like the case will be in good hands.

Your case is in excellent hands.

FarriersGirl · 20/09/2024 10:11

Fantastic news 👏in fact this has made my day!😀

SinnerBoy · 20/09/2024 10:10

Finally managed it! For whatever reason, I wasn't getting a one time code to my phone.
