This is the second part of our live tweeting from the afternoon session of Adams vs Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, closing submissions. Obligations that arise from Art 8 in this context - the content of Art 8 rights don't extend to rights against employers or other individuals. DH's more expansive contentions about what Art 8 might require in this context are unsustainable.

NC: No cases relying on gender identity theory have come to tribunals, yet. DH right to be nervous about whether belief in it *is* WORIADS, because, this case starts showing how dangerous it can be. WIll come back to this.

EJ - do you remember the length of the transgender training? Do you take issue with the accuracy of the notes and the comments in this training?
KL - I took issue almost throughout but let me refresh my opinion. There was nothing in the training that said we were not to inform EJ - how much of the training related to transgender issues
KL - an entire day of CPD, the trans module was about 45 minutes, a YouTube clip
EJ - was it designed for NCS?
KL - I don't know I assume they bought it in from some trans org. There was no opportunity to discuss.
