This is one hell of a judgement, aggravated AND exemplary damages, with a ruling ALL social work staff must now be trained in free speech. Once again we find organisations fall foul of the law after following Stonewall advice on what they wish the law to be, rather than what it is.
This will have a seismic impact, exemplary and aggravated damages are awarded so rarely that many people believed them to be non existent.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh on X: “The conduct of social work England was so bad the employment tribunal effectively revived a punishment justification of damages so rare practitioners were beginning to doubt its existence. That’s huge.” / X (twitter.com)](https://twitter.com/Jebadoo2/status/1784696290237964580)
Presuming there isn’t more to this (bearing in mind it’s the Daily Wail) …. It seems ridiculous by the council since you *can’t* change your sex , the ongoing ‘discussion’ is the extent to which your *gender* is or is not linked to your sex – whether you can have a gender that doesn’t match your sex. And whether certain spaces, rights or protections etc should be linked to gender or to sex. The confusing of sex and gender on both ‘sides’ seems unhelpful. One is significantly biological the other significantly cultural.
