Over the past week, we have been reviewing and reflecting on the EHRC’s Code of Practice. See our full statement at www.lgbt.foundation If this situation is affecting you, we are here for you: 0345 3 30 30 30 (9am - 6pm, Monday to Friday)

Over the past week, we have been reviewing and reflecting on the EHRC’s Code of Practice. DIGESTING THE CODE OF PRACTICE
We share the serious concerns of many in our community about the impact the EHRC’s Code of Practice could have on increasing exclusion and harm, particularly for trans women, the wider trans community, and gender non-conforming cis women.

The Code places too much discretion on service providers to choose who to include, risking inconsistent and discriminatory implementation without improving safety for any protected group.

If implemented, our community members could see increased barriers to services, forced outing, a heightened risk of violence, and reduced access to facilities.

We do not stand alone in voicing these concerns. We work closely with many trans-led organisations and are proud to be in partnership with
Gendered Intelligence, who have produced a brilliantly clear summary of the potential impacts of this Code.

They remind us all that:
“Our community has survived, even thrived, under hostile laws and regulations before, and we will do so again.”

LGBT Foundation’s services exist to support those who need them most.
We are committed to ongoing access for trans and non-binary people across our community-led wellbeing services.
We are working to support other service providers to protect and uphold the rights of trans people, even in the face of uncertainty.

We will continue in our advocacy efforts to help address the stark health inequalities and safety risks being experienced by our community.

We’ve taken the time to digest the amended EHRC Code of Practice. We’ve broken down what’s happening and what the changes mean for services and trans people: the good, the bad and the ugly (and yes, there is some good in it). Read our full response: ow.ly/7Ru450Z4QwH

EHRC Updated Code of Practice: GI’s response

The EHRC has finalised its Code of Practice which advises services and businesses on how to interpret the Equality Act.
It doesn’t change the Equality Act, but it influences how courts interpret it.
We’ve taken the time to digest it and have released our full response on what the changes mean for services and trans people...

The Good
• Recognition of non-binary people
• Recognition of trans children
• Gendered groups can include trans women
• No ID checks for toilets and basic services
...

The bad
The Code empowers those who want to exclude trans people from services and spaces and makes life harder for those who want to support trans people.
Domestic violence refuges that have been supporting trans women without issue now feel they have to jump through hoops to keep supporting them legally.
Businesses and workplaces are likely to go gender-neutral – sometimes at considerable cost – to avoid lawsuits.
The Code treats trans people as a third sex and sets a...

The Ugly
Exclusionary changes have a chilling effect on trans people’s participation in public life.
Creating an atmosphere of fear around basic access needs leads people to self-isolate.
We are already seeing members of our community disengage from sport and physical activity, from education, and even from basic healthcare because of the overwhelming fear of exclusion...
