Without the use of HR & Compliance Centre, it would have cost us a lot of money in terms of needing to source legal assistance to ensure that the policies are legally binding and fully up to date.

Policy of the week

As a result of the Supreme Court's For Women Scotland decision, we have updated our Transgender and non-binary equality policy. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has released interim guidance on the practical implications of the ruling. However, the EHRC is due to consult on fuller guidance in May 2025 and publish the guidance in summer 2025. To keep track of the latest developments, including any further updates to this policy, we recommend that you personalise your list of tracked topics by adding Diversity and inclusion and Gender reassignment discrimination. This means that you will receive email alerts from the Brightmine HR & Compliance Centre on these areas, including any updates related to the case.
