Employment Tribunal Case to Protect Single-Sex Facilities at Work

[FayeRC]

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

Sorry, but was the nhs trust claiming that you were ‘hypersensitive’ because of not wishing to undress with a man?

we cannot conclude that the claimant was ‘hypersensitive’

That takes gaslighting to an industrial scale but really shocking the ruthless and cold lengths they went to in their attempt to allow men to remain in women’s changing rooms.

And the audacity to claim being on the RSOH, let alone claims to #beingkind. It’s truly incredible.

My legal team have sent a letter to NHS England because we have not seen any action from their side since my win on three complaints (indirect sex discrimination, harassment related to sex and harassment related to gender critical belief).

The letter is available at the usual "allotment plot".

If any other NHSE staff members feel they have been negatively affected by this policy on single-sex facilities, could you please read the letter and message me privately (there is a PM function here on MN).

Brilliant @FayeRC - as you’ve seen the only way to move this on is constant legal pressure.

They’ve had a judgment, they’ve had the Workplace Regs 1992 GLP judgment and now EHRC guidance.

What are they waiting for? Face tattoos to remind them.

@FayeRC Thank you for what you are doing. That is an excellent letter.

May I suggest you start a new thread in here, possibly in chat or AIBU titled something like “AIBU to ask female NHS staff to lodge a claim against NHSE for indirect sex discrimination.”

include your letter and explain the more individual claims the better.

I hope they’re not thinking of appealing the ruling!

It would be good if they did, and lost, because then the judgement would be binding on all lower courts / tribunals.

True, but not great for @FayeRC to have to go through all that additional stress in the meantime

Agreed.
The ideal scenario in future cases is for the GC side to win, the TRA side to appeal, and the GC side to win again.
