Lady Falkner has denied any wrongdoing, with allies suggesting she has been unfairly targeted by some staff due to her stance on trans rights. The complaints, understood to come from around 12 members of the team, pertain to concerns regarding the independence and impartiality of the EHRC, as well as allegations of bullying and harassment that remain unresolved.
Despite the chair being reappointed, there is significant discontent among staff who had anticipated changes in leadership under a potential Labour government. Conversations around leadership changes have created a split within the EHRC, with some viewing the chair's allies as engaging in a 'witch-hunt' against colleagues who advocate for trans rights.
