''Women only spaces are a required national standard yet they were not available from October 2022 until at least February 2024, when ERCC knew it was facing a tribunal and would be under scrutiny.''

And this is where TWAW has wrecked our ability to talk about policies such as this.

To any normal sane person women only spaces would mean biological females only. To those with brains rotted by gender ideology they would include transwomen in women only spaces.

It does have a bearing on Sarah's case, I would say. An admission by the body that oversees rape crisis centres saying that woman-only is a national standard. Rape Crisis Scotland, but still helpful to Sarah.

I can't read the article (don't want to subscribe) but would a kind poster give her opinion: does it sound as if when RCS say "women-only", it actually means that? I know the criticism would make no sense if they didn't mean women-only, but, well, you know...

'The review was heavily critical of Wadhwa, who self identifies as a woman but does not have a gender recognition certificate and is legally a man.
It found her be a domineering as chief executive who “who did not understand the limits on her role’s authority” and it said Wadhwa “failed to set professional standards of behaviour” within the organisation.
She was portrayed as incompetent, overseeing an organisation with systemic failures and a chaotic approach in key areas such as financial transparency, training and safeguarding for staff and clients.'

They may have to resign having being driven out by evil transphobes or some other nonsense
Should never have bloody been there in the first place

You wouldn't think so wouldn't you? But MW seems so immune to criticism no matter how damning

Watching with interest.

''Although rape crisis centres are autonomous, they sign up to the RCS’s national standards, many of which the review found ERCC had failed to meet.''

''RCS said the review had found a “significant breach of its standards” and was “pausing” the referral of any new clients to ERCC until it implements the recommendations of the review.''

''Women only spaces are a required national standard yet they were not available from October 2022 until at least February 2024, when ERCC knew it was facing a tribunal and would be under scrutiny.''
