EHRC publishes consultation on amendments to CoP on services, public functions and associations
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has published a consultation on changes to its Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations (the Code), following the Supreme Court’s judgment of 16 April 2025 in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers on the definition of ‘sex’ for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010. A draft of the full Code was consulted on between October 2024 and January 2025 and as such, the latest consultation will focus on the sections of the Code which are affected by the Supreme Court judgment. The consultation closes on 30 June 2025.
