The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has corrected its interim guidance about single-sex toilets, clarifying that employers are not legally required to provide such facilities. The guidance aims to align with a Supreme Court ruling interpreting the 2010 Equality Act as referring to biological men and women. This clarification comes after legal pressure from the Good Law Project, which criticized the EHRC's stance and plans to challenge it in court. The EHRC's guidance is characterized as preliminary and may change, while its consultation period has faced scrutiny for being too brief.
The EHRC clarified that employers are not required to provide single-sex toilets in offices and public spaces, reversing a previous inaccurate directive.
Following legal challenges, the EHRC stated that its guidance on single-sex facilities remains subject to change, indicating it is not yet definitive.
