Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment was made of compliance with (1) the Equality Act 2010, and (2) the exemptions under that Act, of the Security Industry Authority’s publication Trans customers: a guide for door supervisors, published in October 2018; and whether under this guidance a door supervisor presented with documentation as evidence of age by a trans customer where the image on such documentation does not match the appearance of that customer must admit such a customer.

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) publication ‘Trans Customers: A Guide for Door Supervisors’ reflects the Government Equalities Office’ guidance ‘Providing Services for Trans Customers’. The SIA’s guide was reviewed by the Government Equalities Office prior to its publication in 2018.
