'Our voices matter' | Tribunal backs cleaners' race discrimination appeal over delayed pay at Great Ormond Street Hospital

A tribunal has upheld a landmark appeal by 80 cleaners at Great Ormond Street Hospital, finding that the Trust unlawfully delayed placing them on improved pay and conditions after bringing cleaning services in-house.

The ruling confirms that the cleaners were subjected to indirect race discrimination in the period after their transfer to NHS employment, entitling them to back pay for the difference between what they received and what they should have been paid under Agenda for Change terms.
