'Further to our statement of 8th November 2024
Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre apologises to Rosslyn Adams for having alleged that she was transphobic and acknowledges that:
· there was no evidence to support that allegation;
· its disciplinary decision that Ms Adams had misconducted herself was wrong;
· Ms Adams was motivated by a wish to act in the best interests of service users when she questioned how to respond to a service user (as detailed in the Employment Tribunal judgment dated 14 May 2024);
· nothing Ms Adams did constituted bullying or harassment; and
· it accepts the Employment Tribunal’s findings that it harassed and discriminated against Ms Adams because of her protected gender critical beliefs.
