NHS trust 'violated dignity' of nurses by allowing trans woman to use female changing room, tribunal rules
The tribunal ruled the trust harassed eight nurses by allowing a transgender woman to use female changing rooms without suitable alternatives, violating their dignity and creating a hostile work environment.
- On Friday, the Newcastle employment tribunal ruled that County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust violated the dignity of eight Day Surgery Unit nurses by allowing Rose Henderson, a biological male, to use the female changing room, creating a hostile and degrading environment.
- The nurses say the trust ignored their complaints, which were `buried` and not properly addressed, while managers enforced sharing female-only changing facilities at Darlington Memorial Hospital with a colleague assigned male at birth, the tribunal found.
- Claimants described incidents that they said caused fear and humiliation, alleging Rose Henderson stared at staff, asked why one nurse was not changing, and walked in boxer shorts, while Rose denied this portrayal saying, `I am not the individual`.
- The tribunal cleared Rose Henderson of personal harassment while finding County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust liable, and a spokesperson said the trust is reviewing the detailed judgment.
- The judgment comes after a similar recent ruling, following nurse Sandy Peggie's partial victory last month and referencing last year's Supreme Court ruling defining womanhood biologically, shaping NHS single-sex space policies.
