Equality and Human Rights Commission: Codes of Practice
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, how she plans to support businesses groups who wish to remain trans inclusive in the context of the updated EHRC Code of Practice.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The Government received an updated draft Code of Practice from the EHRC on 13 April, and, whilst we cannot comment on the draft Code, we intend to lay it in Parliament in May.
We have always been clear that duty bearers should set their policies in line with the law. If they are uncertain as to how to apply the Equality Act 2010, they should obtain specialist legal advice.
We have also always been clear that the laws to protect trans people from discrimination and harassment remain in place.
