Description:

Hospital bosses violated the dignity of a group of female nurses who complained about a transgender woman using their changing room, an employment tribunal has found.

Eight nurses from Darlington Memorial Hospital claimed they had been "penalised" by managers for objecting to Rose Henderson, a biological male who identifies as a woman, using the single-sex space.

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust claimed the nurses had "demonised" their colleague and the policy was in accordance with guidelines at the time.

In a partial victory for the nurses, the employment panel said the trust had created a "hostile environment", but other elements of their claim were unfounded.
