Equality Commission Statement on Supreme Court Ruling
A spokesperson from the Equality Commission said:
Following the recent Supreme Court judgment, we advise all employers and service providers, and public bodies, to review any policies that the judgment may impact on.
As always, we encourage employers and service providers to come to us for advice relevant to their particular circumstances.
We are currently developing formal written guidance on this issue and we anticipate this will be published in June.
It is also important to remember that everyone has rights under equality law not to be harassed or discriminated in their employment, or when they are accessing many services and to be treated with respect as they go about their lives.
