678 UK Businesses have signed an open letter to the UK Government opposing the EHRC's proposed Code of Practice.
​
Trans+ Solidarity Alliance in partnership with Safe Space UK facilitated an open letter for UK businesses to be delivered to the Minister for Women And Equalities, Bridget Phillipson MP and the new Secretary of State for Business and Trade.
​
The letter expresses the signatory business' concerns over proposals to make them responsible for excluding trans people from gendered spaces, with a published draft of the EHRC's new Equality Act Code of Practice.
​
It’s up to this Government what happens next, they could reject these proposals and require clarity for businesses and service providers on how they can remain inclusive. If they fail to do so, the devastating impact would define their legacy on LGBT+ rights.
Thank you to all 678 businesses and organisations that have signed. You have done something that really matters.
This open letter and briefing has been prepared by Trans+ Solidarity Alliance and Safe Space UK. Please reach out to us with your stories about the impact on your business.
We are keen to discuss the practical impact this is likely to have on businesses, and support them in resisting this guidance.
