We need to contact all local authorities and make sure that they record sex as a protected characteristic and not gender

Someone on Twitter (NorthernJugni) has set up an editable spreadsheet that anyone can add to. She’s added all of the local authorities

It would be really useful if somebody could help those without much experience in contacting the local council by proving a basic message that they could copy and paste. It would save time and make us sound professional. Anybody feel confident with this?

We bent the ear of a Redbridge Council tonight eminent member at the meting in Portcullis House. He looked properly worried.

While I was looking for a specific FPFW link in another MN thread I came across a number of trans guidelines for various sports, and it struck me that they were almost verbatim. And of course credit GIRES, Gendered intelligence, Pride etc.

@NorthernJugni are you still updating the spreadsheet?

Dacorum Borough Council is listed as ?
It's here and it's all kinds of wrong!
"Discrimination on the grounds of race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, gender, marital status, sexuality, disability and age is not acceptable and we will take appropriate action to redress inequality and work continuously to improve our services."

So they have missed sex AND pregnancy & maternity

They have ignored my attempts to raise this with them so far.

They've combined the protected characteristics of sex and gender reassignment to get "gender" by the looks of things. Which is obviously wrong. And used things which aren't actually protected characteristics. Made up their own list.

? Indicates I wasnt able to find the info so will note that you have and it's wrong- Jugni
