Transgender People: Facilities
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what information her Department collects on the accessibility of essential services for transgender people, including public toilets and changing facilities; and what recent assessment she has made of whether service providers are meeting their legal obligations in this regard.
- Answer
-
We engage with a broad range of stakeholders, including trans organisations, regarding equality matters, which may sometimes cover access to essential services.
The EHRC has confirmed that monitoring of the Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations is in their forward plan. The EHRC also has statutory powers to investigate cases where duty bearers may have acted unlawfully.
