Single-sex spaces code comes into force after key ruling

Guidance regarding the use of toilets and changing rooms as single-sex spaces has officially come into force. This implementation follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling delivered last year. However, the updated Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) code has faced significant backlash. Trans organisations have branded the UK's new policy as chaotic and cruel as it takes effect on 5 August, highlighting a sharp divide over the application of these single-sex space regulations.
