NHS Policy Audit - working party

[KnottyAuty]

Following on from Thread #23 of the Peggie v NHS Employment Tribunal. Anyone who wants to help with survey/audit of paperwork against the Equality Act protected characteristics please join here 😊

Hurrah! I'll open the gates for you to charge up the M6 Toll!!

South East Coast Ambulance Service

Just had a realisation - I suppose as things switch around the one advantage of all the Stonewall policies which talk about it being ok to have a curtain etc is that if it was OK for women for privacy, then it must be ok for trans women?! Could this ghastly mess actually work in women’s favour in the end?

Ready to help when you reconvene!

It may be a complete coincidence but I was asked to provide additional copies of our Scottish audit information to the EHRC on Thursday. Maybe us wims can help make a difference. Go vipers!

😱
Wozers!
That update has just given me the shivers!

Well done!
Am so sorry I've not been able to help, work and family have been completely OTT, but I am rooting for you all.

I can do a Midlands one today. Though i'm sorry i've lost track of what's outstanding

Brilliant😀We've had quite a week! I have bought a necklace with a sparkly viper on it to celebrate.

Wowee! That’s awesome, well done everyone and specially @KnottyAuty for galvanising us and pulling it all together. Great encouragement for getting on with the rest

That is excellent news!

It coincides with MSM releasing a WhatsApp conversation between Labour MPs (Angela Eagle, Chris Bryant, Steve Race, Chris Murray) plotting to derail whatever statutory guidance the EHRC plans to publish in summer.

Angela Eagle: ‘The ruling is not as catastrophic as it seems but the EHRC guidance might be’

A response from pro trans supporters at Westminster was to be expected. And the input from Mumsnet has never been more needed.

To all those offering to audit Midlands trusts, gimme a second to drink my tea and then I’ll post an updated list of what’s still to go!

Hi @umbel - looks like we have all of those except Birmingham-Solihul and Uni Hospital N Midlands.

Someone’s offered to do Uni Hospital, so I would say don’t worry for the moment (though @KnottyAuty may get back to you with questions because the form has changed slightly).

Ok, am caught up now - looks like @umbel has already done that one! Give me two seconds to update my list and you can pick another…

Looks like @umbel has done the first of those three (N Staffordshire Combined) but if you’re happy to do the next two that would be great.

Form coming to your DMs soon.

All yours!

DM with form coming soon.

All yours.

Will DM with form soon.

Brilliant thanks all!
and special shout out to @TwoLoonsAndASprout for being a fab organiser 😍

You’re more than welcome to them - I also have you down for University Hospitals N Midlands - are you happy to do all of them?

Headless chickener more like! Getting there - back in a second with updated list!

Meant to say - that sounds delightful!! Would you be willing to share a link to where you got it?

I can fo George Eliot

Thanks @TwoLoonsAndASprout I'll take the Lincolnshire Trusts.

Doing the Midlands Partnership right now. They were looking really good - no mention of trans, clear commitment to single sex accommodation.

And then I looked at what Ermine Amies turned up. And of course it's 'single sex unless a trans patient has a preference' and misgendering as a disciplinary matter.

Fuckers.
