Gender
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether her Department plans to issue updated guidance to service providers on rights under the Equality Act 2010 to lawfully exclude biological males from single-sex spaces.
Answered by Anneliese Dodds
It is vitally important that service providers understand the single-sex service exceptions in the Equality Act 2010 and feel confident using them. The Government has committed to ensuring that there is guidance in place which gives service providers assurance about the rights afforded by the Act and how to lawfully apply its single-sex exceptions. We will set out next steps on this work in due course.
