Page 9 | Employment Tribunal Case to Protect Single-Sex Facilities at Work

FayeRC · 2024-09-06T12:39:21+00:00

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

PS just to say I don't have any connection with the fund it just looks very useful!

AmaryllisNightAndDay · 14/06/2025 18:35

Will happily garden for you once again!

Do also apply for J K Rowling's Women's Fund https://jkrwf.org/ Your case looks suitable for a nice big bag of seeds and we all benefit.

That's a good point. I'm sure this case would fit the remit for jkr's fighting fund. It will be worth applying OP.

Was hoping this sort of case would be funded by JKR's fund, it seems an excellent example of what the fund is for. Willing to dig if for some reason they wont help. There are cases that seem less likely to get help, because they involve men, so was hoping to focus my gardening on those.

Hello all, I'm back :)

We've had the second preliminary hearing now where anonymity and reporting restrictions on my true identity were granted! The case will go ahead!

Now that the Darlington nurses have reached some kind of an agreement with their Trust (no info on the details yet), this leaves my case as the only one in the health sector in England's side. There are other GC cases in England's side, too.

I had added signage to the allotment site saying I needed anonymity to continue with this. If you have previously decided to wait until you hear whether I'll take this all the way through, now would be the best time to find bigger shovels for the allotment. Although the public have been great at supporting this, I've also planted thousands of peas out of my own pocket. However, we have a lot of work to do this summer (including evidence) which will need to be sorted in advance.

Pls search for Faye Russell-Caldicott (pseudonym) and share the link. Thank you!

Thank you!

We don't want these cases slipping down the back of the sofa 👍 (or the cabbage beds).

From press reports, the darlington nurses have managed to get provision of proper single sex changing in their hospital. Apparently Wes Streeting told NHS England who told the darlo nhs trust to get it sorted. Not sure if it has actally been done yet. But I don't know if that means they will be settling on other aspects of their case. They still suffered terrible treatment for a long time. I expect how their hospital respond to this latest intervention will make a difference to the course of the case. But I guess if they do what they are told then the OP will be the only legal case in England using the courts to get single sex facilities implemented in the nhs.

That is good news. I'm glad your case is proceeding and you have been granted anonymity. It must be a weight off your mind.

Have the Darlington Nurses settled? I've not seen anything about that.

The SC case means, to me at least, the opposition is about to discover that their case is built on sand. Best of luck to you, Faye!

Thrilled at the Ruling of the Supreme Court, massive, back of the net!

Looking forward to your case being updated ✊

Nail biting that lasted a whole week ended in a very loud fist pump in a public place when I read about today's Supreme Court ruling.

Thank you For Women Scotland.

We were prepared and ready for the 2nd preliminary hearing last week but unfortunately it was cancelled last minute due to a lack of judges. We are hoping to get a new date shortly.

In the last week or so, the Sandie Peggie case has completely transformed the dynamic in favour of women and looks firmly set to fundamentally change the legal and political environment in favour of reasserting and re-establishing their rights in law.

With the welcome intervention by the Scottish ECHR public watchdog, there has been a clear transfer of momentum towards women rightly demanding that their rights are respected and the law is clarified in order to to protect their dignity and their bodies; the balance of power is steadily shifting towards those women and their supporters favouring common-sense over the delusions and imagination of men who have a penchant for dressing up as the opposite sex and cheating by participating in their sports, stifling the development and safety of female competitors and unfairly being awarded prize money.

I believe this will prove to be a pivotal moment in Scottish history resolving the misinterpretation of the law that women have been admirably mobilising against, addressing the inequity and imbalance of being relegated to "second class second class" citizens by the likes of Upton, a man using the name "Beth" who wears womens clothes and attempted to assert his non-existent rights to humiliate, goad, provoke and degrade Sandie Peggie in the private space reserved for the use of her sex.

I don't know Sandie Peggie at all, but I trust her to see this through ultimately for the benefit of women, not only herself. I anticipate that the subsequent Judgment will reassert reality over fantasy, truth over falsehood, and safety concerns over vacuous mottos of "be kind" and "inclusivity" to the exclusion and endangerment of women.

A long hot Summer beckons where the kickback will be in full swing - search for Faye Russell-Caldicott (a pseudonymym), "Harriet Haynes (a man) vs English Pool and Billiards Federation" (suing them for "discrimination") and the Darlington Nurses.

Well said. It's exposed the fact that behind this movement are powerful predators determined to remove safeguarding for women and girls and using the language of trans inclusion to get their demands achieved.

All the dodgy quiet bits spoken aloud in court with a horrified public watching and listening.

I'm so glad you reached your total, Faye. I've been donating in spirit this time, as my financial situation is quite precarious just now.

I hope for your win.
