In the case of Good Law Project Limited v EHRC the High Court confirmed that the EHRC's interim guidance concerning single-sex spaces and the definition of "sex" is not unlawful, while in Hutchinson v County Durham, an employment tribunal found that allowing a trans woman to use female changing rooms in circumstances when other staff objected amounted to harassment and indirect sex discrimination.
It is important for HR to recognise that matters relating to gender identity and the use of single-sex facilities are sensitive. These situations must be managed thoughtfully to prevent discrimination and harassment claims.
