An NHS Trust has paid out £187,000 in compensation to a group of nurses who won a tribunal case over its policy to allow trans women in female changing rooms.
The panel ruled that the Trust had unlawfully discriminated against and harassed the nurses by requiring them to share female-only changing rooms with a biological male who identified as a woman.
The nurses, who raised concerns with management in July 2023, said they had been required, without warning or consultation, to share changing facilities with a biological male colleague who identifies as female and is known as “Rose.”
Seven nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital – Bethany Hutchison, Lisa Lockey, Karen Danson, Tracy Hooper, Annice Grundy, Carly Hoy and Jane Peveller – will share the payout.
