Recommendation
We reiterate our predecessor Committee’s recommendation for better guidance on the single-sex and separate-sex exceptions and urge the Government Equalities Office and Equality and Human Rights Commission to publish this guidance, using worked examples and case studies from organisations providing these services. We also strongly recommend that the Government Equalities Office and Equality and Human Rights Commission urgently develop and publish guidance, in collaboration with trans rights groups, on best practice to provide trans and non-binary inclusive and specific services, including specifically relating to domestic violence and sexual abuse. This guidance should use worked examples and case studies from organisations providing these services.

42. In September 2021, the Sports Councils’ Equality Group published the Guidance for Transgender Inclusion in Domestic Sport4. The Sports Councils are currently working with a small number of sports to pilot some practical ways of using the Guidance, with the aim of then disseminating the learnings from the various approaches within the different sports. The National Governing Bodies (NGBs) involved in this pilot cover a broad range of sporting activity and the Sports Councils are confident at this time that the results will be translatable across the vast majority of other NGBs. The Sports Councils and the NGBs are committed to this for the next 6 months.
