Yes, one at each site
Q3: Please provide any policies or procedures that apply to trans-identified people who wish to use the changing and showering facilities in your sites.
Not applicable
Q4: How are your different changing and showering facilities labelled and described?
Male and Female
Q5: At your sites, which changing room and showering facilities is a trans-identified male permitted to use?
We do not currently have a policy on this. However, private cubicles are available within the changing rooms for any customer who may prefer additional privacy.
Q6: If applicable, do your facilities allow trans-identifying males to attend Women Only swim sessions?
Not applicable.
Our Verdict
We love that CHBDC doesn't specifically allow men in women's areas, but no policy = no protection for women. The private cubicles don't really help as they are within the communal changing rooms, HBDC needs to manage the single occupancy facilities so they are clearly marked for gender diverse individuals.
