What about changing facilities for transgender members?

We recognise that changing room facilities vary from club to club. Different trans people are likely to have different opinions and preferences about what would make them feel most comfortable, included and safe at your club. It is good practice to ask a trans person what would work best for them, not everyone feels comfortable in open changing room spaces. In line with existing good safeguarding practice, where it is important to consider privacy for all members of the team, it is recommended that adults (unless they are the parents) do not change at the same time in the same changing facilities as children under the age of 18 unless there are separate cubicles. If this cannot be avoided due to the nature of the facility it is recommended that all adults come ready changed for their hockey activity.
