Following the Supreme Court ruling (For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers) on 16 April 2025, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) published interim, non-statutory advice on interpreting the judgement. On 20 May, they launched a consultation on its proposed amendments to the statutory Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations. The consultation ran for 6 weeks, closing on 30 June 2025.

Our submission to the consultation focuses on Galop’s areas of expertise, namely the needs and experiences of LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence. You can read our full submission by downloading the PDF on this page.
