We will be live tweeting day 2 of evidence from the hearing of Ms B Hutchison & others v County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust being held at Newcastle Employment Tribunal.
We anticipate a 10am start but delays are not unusual.
A group of nurses from Darlington Memorial Hospital are bringing this ET case against their employers alleging sexual harassment and sex discrimination. It concerns the Trust’s policy of allowing a male colleague, identifying as a woman named Rose Henderson, to use the female changing room.
The nurses argue that sharing the changing facilities with Henderson has caused them distress. One nurse, a survivor of sexual abuse, reported experiencing panic attacks.
After raising concerns with hospital management, they were informed they needed to be “re-educated” to be more 'inclusive' and offered an office space to change in instead of the female changing room.

The court is at present taking a short break, and we expect to resume about 3.45pm.
We are restarting.

J: Anything on Debique, NC?
NC: I think SC and I are agreed that it doesn't take us forward; group disadvantage in this case has been agreed, so we don't need to go there.
