<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">On 25 April 2025, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) published an interim update dealing with the practical consequences of For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers, where the Supreme Court ruled that references to a person’s sex in the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex. The EHRC has now amended the interim update to clarify that requirements to provide men and women with separate facilities in workplaces are contained in the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. It has also removed the statement that “toilets, washing or changing facilities in lockable rooms (not cubicles) which are intended to be used by one person at a time can be used by either women or men”. There is no further guidance on employers’ obligations or confirmation as to whether “men” and “women” in these regulations should be interpreted in line with the Supreme Court’s ruling. The EHRC’s consultation on updates to the Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations to incorporate the Supreme Court’s judgement closed on 30 June.</p>
