1/🧵 From the agenda for next week’s meeting at NHS Wales. But we can assume the arbitrary decision to “pause” referrals was made on a summary of the same information. And, after a month, there is still nothing of substance that can be presented. Sorry, but people should lose their job for this.

Tom Tugendhat in Sunday Times insists on leaving the ECHR to tackle “soaring” immigration. What a miserable rat. Lying to us all. Betraying our country’s best interests. Threatening to flounce out of our human rights framework, trashing our treaties and torching our protection from abuses of power.

The Tories are planning to make the ECHR a dividing line at the next election. Last week the party announced plans to deport every foreign criminal, apart from those convicted of the most trivial offences, and said their plan for ECHR withdrawal meant only the Conservatives were equipped to take on the problem of soaring immigration. One of the problems withdrawal would create is a legal dispute over whether it breaches the Good Friday agreement, which committed the UK to fully incorporate the ECHR into Northern Ireland's justice system. Tugendhat said the issue had not yet been raised in his conversations with lawmakers in the US, adding:
"There's a lot of work to be done."

Why isn't Farage an "in prison footnote" for UK politics...? I shouldn't need to ask that. All vindictive fascists fuckers should have remained in the past and should have been extinct as the the first and second world war. Farage seriously has a face that is lamp-able.

Baroness Harding of Winscombe never held accountable, but instead rewarded with a comfy seat in the House of Lords. Meanwhile, Gov puzzled why trust in politicians is at an all time low - because so many of the worst failures are still making our laws. Another very good reason to abolish it.

As well as monitoring and enforcing “compliance”, will you also monitor the negative impact on all the groups your own Equality Impact Assessment say may be harmed? As our National Human Rights Institute, that is your job as well, even if you choose not to do it. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Summary of EHRC EIA
EHRC assert that almost all of these updates will likely have a positive impact on those with the protected characteristic of disability.
They have acknowledged that updates to their gender reassignment section following the FWS ruling - making an accessible toilet available to also be used as a mixed-sex toilet for people without a disability - could have an impact on disabled people.
However they have suggested that they sought to limit any negative effect on people with the protected characteristic of disability by giving an example where such a decision would likely be proportionate in all the circumstances, rather than suggesting that it will always be appropriate to do so and amending the example to emphasise the need for a service provider to monitor the impacts on disabled people and trans people.
OEO additional impact assessment
The updates to the Code in relation to additional guidance to reflect the legislation and case law on the definition of disability, is likely to have a positive impact. We acknowledge that terminological changes adopted support more British social model approaches.
However, the additional content in relation to the gender reassignment section amended following the FWS ruling, concerning the potential need for trans people to use disabled toilets as 'third space' facilities, may not foster good relations between groups. This is because disabled people and trans people may have to compete to access a limited number of facilities. Disabled people have had (and continue) to fight for access to suitable toilets. Whether this creates tension between the 2 groups will depend on how providers choose to arrange and label their facilities, which is likely to be impacted by resources and site limitations. EHRC have tried to manage this in their example, but we must recognise that there is a significant possibility of this creating tension.

Policing of gender: Potential 'policing' of gender presentation, which could lead to increased harassment for trans people and cisgender people who do not conform to traditional gender stereotypes.
Safeguarding risks: Concern that excluding trans women from female services could mean they have to use male services, where they could face a disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault (although this will depend on the nature of the service in question).
Relations between groups: The debate on single sex services and the treatment of trans people is particularly divisive at this time. The Code of Practice may exacerbate these tensions. This may be somewhat mitigated through careful communications surrounding the Code's publication.

The extent to which the changes to the code could have a negative impact when it comes to fostering good relations between those with protected characteristics of sex and gender reassignment, even if the changes reflect the law accurately, is not fully explored within EHRC's EIA. The changes to the Code will still mean many organisations/organisers have difficult, finely balanced decisions to make to determine the appropriate provision of events and services for users depending on their sex and whether they possess the protected characteristic of gender reassignment. In making these decisions, it is likely that some service users will more starkly see their needs balanced against those with other protected characteristics, and this has the potential to create animosity and division between these groups.
The impact of the changes for women who are deemed not to meet cultural and social expectations of femininity are also not explored in EHRC's EIA (explored in the 'gender reassignment' section as unintended consequences leading to gender policing). OEO notes anecdotal evidence from stakeholders that this is occurring, although at present there's not yet a strong evidence base to ascertain the level at which this is occurring, or the scale or severity of the impact. Women who are considered masculine may face greater scrutiny about their sex as a result of the changes. This will likely have a negative impact on this group, potentially on limbs one and three of PSED.

OEO additional impact assessment
As set out in EHRC’s EIA, the updates to the Code are expected to have a significant impact on people with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment. In addition to the concerns detailed in that EIA, there are further impacts to note as follows.

Exclusion: The updated Chapter 13 provides guidance on when it is lawful to exclude trans people from services aligned with their acquired gender (e.g. domestic violence refuges, hospital wards, and changing rooms) based on their biological sex. It also covers competitive sport which may leave trans people with access to sport. Chapter 12 also provides guidance on restricting membership to an association based on those sharing one or more protected characteristics. Some organisations such as the Women’s Institute and Girl Guiding have already made the decision to restrict membership to biological women only. The Code does explain where membership could be restricted based on sharing multiple characteristics and therefore provides an opportunity for trans inclusion, e.g. a women and trans women association.

‘Double exclusion’: It is possible that trans people could be barred from both the space aligned with their gender (because of their sex) and the space aligned with their birth sex (because of possessing the protected characteristic of gender reassignment), effectively leaving them with no service at all.

Alternative provision: While the Code states it is “unlikely to be proportionate” to leave a trans person with no service (especially for essentials like toilets), providers may lack the funding or space to offer ‘third-space’ or gender-neutral alternatives.

Involuntary disclosure: New guidance explains how service providers can request information about an individual’s sex at birth. This may force trans people to “out” themselves in public or professional settings. Similarly trans people have expressed concern – as in the Good Law Project litigation against EHRC – that havin…
