Gender reassignment and/or transgender guidance and policies
Dear Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust,
Please provide:
1) Gender reassignment and/or transgender guidance and policies relating to staff
2) Gender reassignment and/or transgender guidance and policies relating to patients
3) Related Equality Impact Assessments if separate
4) Policies on mixed sex and/or same sex accommodation
As this is a simple request for guidance and policies which requires no email search or redaction, I look forward to a swift response and remind you of your obligation to respond promptly under FOIA section 10(1). 20 days is a long stop for responses, not the deadline.
See ICO guidance https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/foi...

Dear FOI (WALSALL HEALTHCARE NHS TRUST),
Thank you for letting me know that:
"We currently do not have a policy/guidance on transgender issues. However, our HR Policy Sub Group are working on one with our Staff Side Unions. I do not currently have a date when this will be ratified."
Yours sincerely,
Ermine Amies
