New guidance to help public authorities meet their equality duties and human rights obligations in the provision of goods, facilities and services for transgender users is now available. It is relevant for authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. [see note 1]

This 'how to' guide is for managers and front line staff of all levels and is illustrated with good practice examples. The guidance will help public authorities to be clear on what they are expected to do to comply with the law and provide their trans service users with the goods, facilities and services to which they are entitled.
