Single-sex spaces | NHS trust discriminated against nurses over transgender changing room policy, tribunal rules

An NHS trust discriminated against a group of nurses by requiring them to share a female changing room with a transgender woman and failing to take their concerns seriously, an employment tribunal has ruled.

The tribunal found that County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust subjected the nurses to unlawful harassment and indirect sex discrimination after prioritising its transgender inclusion policy without providing suitable alternative facilities or properly addressing complaints.
