Female nurses win employment case over NHS changing-room use by trans colleague
AI Summary
An employment tribunal ruled that County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust harassed seven female nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital. The nurses claimed their dignity was violated when a trans female colleague was allowed to use the women's changing facilities. Judge Sweeney found the trust created a hostile environment by requiring the nurses to share the changing room without providing suitable alternatives and by dismissing their concerns. While the tribunal dismissed complaints about the trans colleague's conduct, it acknowledged the nurses' genuine fears for their privacy and bodily integrity. The nurses, backed by the Christian Legal Centre, brought the claim after objecting to the hospital's policy.
