The guidance was published on Thursday following the landmark Supreme Court ruling last year.
The EHRC has confirmed that single-sex facilities, such as toilets and changing rooms, must be used based on biological sex, following a Supreme Court ruling from April 2025.
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has issued guidance stating that single-sex facilities, such as toilets and changing rooms, must be used based on biological sex, following a Supreme Court ruling last year.
The EHRC's new guidance mandates that single-sex facilities, including toilets and changing rooms, be used according to biological sex, aligning with a Supreme Court ruling from the previous year.
New EHRC guidance on single-sex spaces could lead to tensions between disabled and trans individuals over access to facilities, campaigners and government analysis warn.
