"effect of violating the dignity of the claimants and creating a hostile, intimidating, humiliating and degrading environment for them"
"direct discrimination and harassment that has created an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating and offensive environment, due to my protected characteristics"
"Today's ruling sends a clear message: the NHS cannot ignore women's rights in the name of ideology. We stood up because we knew this was wrong. No woman should be forced to choose between her job and her safety,"
"This ruling is a turning point, and we will keep fighting until every woman in the NHS is guaranteed the dignity and protection she deserves."
An employment tribunal ruled that eight nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital experienced harassment by County Durham and Darlington NHS Trust after raising concerns about a trans colleague, Rose Henderson, using single-sex spaces such as changing rooms. The tribunal found the conduct had the effect of violating the claimants' dignity and creating a hostile, intimidating, humiliating and degrading environment for them. The case included allegations that actions amounted to direct discrimination and harassment creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating and offensive environment due to protected characteristics. The nurses brought the case challenging trust policies on access to single-sex changing rooms. The judgment emphasized impact on workplace dignity and environment and prompted statements asserting that women's rights, dignity and safety must be upheld in NHS facilities. Further developments are expected.
