#sexmatters

1) The @GEOgovuk should publish clear guidance on single and separate sex services in the Equality Act.

2) The @educationgovuk should publish specific guidance for schools on the protected characteristics of “sex” and “gender reassignment”.

3) The government should require all departments to ensure that the term sex is correctly used in their policies, equal opportunities monitoring and equality impact assessment frameworks.

4) An amendment should be added to the Equality Act to clarify that the protected characteristic “sex” means sex in the common law sense.

5) The @EHRC should commission a review of charter schemes offered by private bodies to employers and develop principles for charter schemes to ensure they are in line with the Equality Act.

6) The government should commission a review of the application of S 22 of the Gender Recognition Act in public services to consider how “sex secrecy” provisions interact with, consent, safeguarding and other reasons why sex information is routinely disclosed and collected.
