The guidance on the interpretation of the relevant provisions in the Equality Act from the Equality and Human Rights Commission – which can be accessed here – makes clear that it is for service providers to decide what is appropriate for them in the context within which they operate. As a result, it is not possible to make a blanket statement or provide blanket guidance across all venues when they will all be operating in their own operational contexts, i.e. a large, professionally run 10 court venue will have different facilities already in place compared to a 2 court village club. We strongly advise those responsible for venues to read and consider this guidance when considering their own provision. Such decisions should not be made without full consideration of the impact on all users of facilities.
There is further relevant guidance on use of changing rooms by adults and juniors already available here.
