When the call for input on single-sex spaces guidance was commissioned, the previous Government did not seek consent from organisations to publish the responses. Consequently, we will not be placing the responses in the Library.

We shared all the submissions that met the criteria of the call for input with the independent EHRC. The EHRC have since concluded their regulatory action, which can be read about here: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre/ehrc-concludes-regulatory-action-single-sex-space-policies.
