Context
The Equality and Human Rights Commission is revising its code of practice for services, public functions, and associations in response to confusion about the same-sex exceptions in the Equality Act 2010.
When does she expect the Equality and Human Rights Commission to publish its revised code of practice for services, public functions and associations?
It is vital that service providers have clear guidance about the Equality Act. The EHRC has already published non-statutory guidance on the legislation for separate and single-sex service providers, and the new Government have also acted to underline that single-sex refuges, for example, are fully legally compliant, as I emphasised when I visited such a refuge in September.
