. @NorfolkPolice and @NorfolkPCC are still in denial.
Norfolk & Suffolk policemen can carry two warrant cards - one for their name and a second for their #womanface.
@WomensRightsNet @EASuffragettes @norwich_s
Norfolk & Suffolk Police policies use made up terms such as cis, cisgender, non-binary and gender fluid in their policies - taking a activist position on transgenderism and ignoring sex reality.
Norfolk & Suffolk Police have both failed to take account of women's rights in their equality impact assessment. The EIA fails to consider the impact on women staff of allowing male sex mimics to use the women's changing rooms and toilets.
Shocking EIA failure. Norfolk & Suffolk Police continue to ignore the impact of allowing men to search women and use women's toilets and showers on religious women, sex realists and other women.
Management, HR & Equality staff are not doing their job and fail to protect women.
The discriminatory transgender search policy remains in place. #StateSanctionedSexualAssault
"Norfolk's policy ... states: 'All trans individuals are entitled to use the toilet, shower and changing facilities appropriate to their gender identity.
'Where this does not fit a binary definition of gender, the individual is able to choose.'"
UEA did not even bother to respond to this letter dated 8 January, relying on the press statement posted on the website.
It states Sportspark has “designated male & female changing spaces” whilst it knowingly directs men who claim to be women to the female changing rooms.
UEA's statement refers to breaching privacy, dignity, decency, health and safety of the centre.
It does not address the breaches of privacy, dignity, and safety of women and girls.
#SexMatters #discrimination #SafeguardingFail
Despite the UEA FOI response that UEA has no relevant University/Sportspark policies, UEA has at least 2 policies which permit transsexual men to use the female changing spaces.
Sportspark staff implement those policies, knowingly directing transsexual men to the female spaces.
UEA Sportspark has ignored user complaints about men in the female changing rooms at Sportspark for a year.
It will come as no surprise that UEA does not collect data by sex but by "gender options", failing its public sector equality duty and other Equality Act obligations.
UEA are also collecting recruitment data not by sex so they can monitor for discrimination under the Equality Act but by "legal gender".
Following withdrawal of the @PoliceChiefs' guidance on searches by transgender officers pending review, we have written to the Chief Constable to ask him to confirm that @NorfolkPolice have withdrawn their transgender search policy >>
#StateSanctionedSexualAssault
We have asked our Chief Constable to confirm that he will not allow men who claim to be women, with or without a gender recognition certificate (GRC), to search women, nor women officers to search men who claim to be women, with or without a GRC.
We also asked @NorfolkPolice to commit to consult with women’s groups, including ourselves, before policies that impact females are implemented, and when existing policies are reviewed.
Why are you still lying about men in the female changing rooms at @SportsparkUEA? It's been 11 months since you lied to the EDP.
Stop discriminating against women and girls.
Give us safe private spaces to shower & change.
#RestoreSafeguarding
UEA tell men who pretend to be women that they can use this space to shower and change @SportsparkUEA, without regard to the safety, privacy and dignity of women and unaccompanied girls from the age of 12.
It is now two and half years since the Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust was advised it misrepresents the Equality Act in its equality policy and equality impact assessments. It is in breach of its public sector equality duty.
The Deputy CEO advised one of our members on 10 September 2020 that the errors were noted and communicated to relevant colleagues for their attention re policies, reports and documents. The list of protected characteristics was corrected but the other errors remain in place.
We wrote to 2 January 2023 asking for the outstanding corrections to policies, assessments and reports on behalf of @NorfolkWomen and the Women’s Rights Network North West Norfolk.
We recommend reading @CCriadoPerez's Invisible Women, about the ways policy development & impact assessments fail to assess the impact on women.
Equality Impact Assessments matter.
We have asked @TeamQEH to correct their EIAs to include the 4 missing protected characteristics.
Despite now having the correct list of protected characteristics in V3 of the @TeamQEH Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, the policy & EIAs do not cover those with the protected characteristic of sex as it uses the word “gender” instead of sex. >
. @TeamQEH was informed of these errors first in 2020 and has failed to correct the omissions and use of gender and transgender in the #Equality, #Diversity and #Inclusion policy and equality impact assessments ( EIAs). >
