How to Respond to EHRC’s consultation before 11:59pm on 30th June.

Following the April 16th UK Supreme Court ruling, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has proposed changes to the ‘Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations’ and is holding a public consultation on these changes.

The consultation opened on 20 May, and it will close at 11.59pm on 30 June 2025.

Anyone affected, directly or indirectly, can respond to the consultation on the proposed Code of Practice changes, including trans people, the wider LGBTQ+ community, family and friends or members of the public who want to have their voices heard.
