Employment Tribunal Case to Protect Single-Sex Facilities at Work

506 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

Thank you all, I have been reading through the judgement, feeling a mixture of relief, overwhelm and incredible jubilation.

Enjoy. So very well deserved. And helps so many women!

I hope you have the best night's sleep ever @FayeRC - this has rumbled on for so, so long.

Brave woman 💪🏼

Just adding it here because I can’t find the original post but Faye Russell Caldicott has won her case against the NHS re permitting TW to use the female facilities.

Fantastic news

AmaryllisNightAndDay · 13/05/2026 17:33

And I will garden again, not done this month's planting yet. Always so encouraging when a beautiful bloom appears!

AmaryllisNightAndDay · 13/05/2026 17:26

Congratulations @FayeRC ! Well done and thank you for keeping going.

I am sometimes surprised but always happy when commonsense wins over the craziness.

Keeptoiletssafe · 13/05/2026 17:26

Brilliant. This could have far reaching implications. Well done Faye!

How secondary schools can have all ‘gender-neutral’ facilities - that is surely forbidden now?

Just to pick up on that language, there’s no such thing as a ‘gender-neutral’ toilet in building control terms. If it is for both sexes or sometimes called mixed sex use, it is technically Universal or Unisex. These terms are for a very different design of toilet.

SingleSexSpacesInSchools · 13/05/2026 17:24

This has huge impact deseves a new thread to discuss what happens now…

DialSquare · 13/05/2026 17:21

Fantastic news! Congratulations Faye.

This is wonderful to hear, a true win for common sense and the rights of women. Well done @FayeRC

ItsCoolForCats · 13/05/2026 16:51

Amazing ❤️ I was wondering about this as I knew the decision was due soon. Congrats @FayeRC xx

Glamourreader · 13/05/2026 16:50

Congratulations Faye!!!

And a huge thank you

anyolddinosaur · 13/05/2026 16:50

Brilliant news. Not an appeal tribunal so not binding on other tribunals but must give other people with ongoing cases a lot of hope.

There will be a remedies hearing later in the year. Faye may still need support with costs for that, fundraiser is still open.

HenriettaSwanLeavitt · 13/05/2026 16:49

Fantastic news. Terfy money well spent! Huge congratulations and thanks to Faye

ArabellaScott · 13/05/2026 16:48
