You may have seen the recent UK Supreme Court ruling concerning the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010. What the ruling will mean for the daily functioning of organisations is not clear at this moment.
We understand our community may have many questions – and at this stage we do not have all the answers. We will work along with other universities to understand the implications of the Supreme Court ruling and how the University can respond to it. Given the breadth of the ruling this may take some time but we will keep you posted as our position evolves.
We want to assure you that King’s is and will always be a welcoming, inclusive and supportive place for everyone in our community.
We know that this may be a time of uncertainty and anxiety for some of you, or those close to you. Talking to someone can be a real source of support, whether that is a trusted colleague or friend, talking to one of our Chaplains or connecting with the support available to you.
In addition, the LGBT Foundation has a range of useful resources which includes a support line.
