Judge finds Durham trust violated nurses’ dignity and created intimidating environment by allowing use of single-sex space
A group of nurses who complained about a trans colleague using single-sex changing rooms at work suffered harassment, an employment tribunal judge has ruled.
The judge found the nurses’ dignity was violated and they encountered “a hostile, intimidating, humiliating and degrading environment” at work.
The eight female nurses work at Darlington Memorial hospital and brought a claim against their employer, County Durham and Darlington NHS foundation trust.
It stemmed from their objection to another nurse, Rose Henderson, a trans woman, being allowed to use the women’s changing facilities.
