Reposted by Johnnonbinarybarrister.bsky.social @nonbinarybarrister.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The EHRC’s new services code shouldn’t simply be copied into workplace policies. Different legal relationships can engage different parts of the Equality Act. In employment, start with what the law actually requires and the most inclusive lawful approach. #EmploymentLaw #EqualityAct 094

Despite the headlines, the Code does appear to recognise protections for at least some non-binary and genderfluid people. So what does that mean in practice?
