Response 22-07-2025

1. No

2. Not applicable

3. As a Council, we recognise the clarity provided by the Supreme Court ruling in this case, as well as the recent Court of Session case involving Scottish Borders Council (where the judge ordered that Scottish schools must provide single-sex toilets for students). We are currently considering the implications of both cases in full and awaiting the Equalities and Human Rights Commission's (EHRC) update to their statutory and non-statutory guidance to help inform what action/revisions will be necessary.  Meantime, the EHRC have issued interim guidance that will also be considered and incorporated into Council practice - https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre/interim-update-practical-implications-uk-supreme-court-judgment
