## Key points

- Badenoch defended Peggie after her tribunal loss against the RCN.
- The case concerned union support and legal advice.
- Peggie is appealing findings in a separate NHS Fife case.

## Summary

Kemi Badenoch said a tribunal defeat for nurse Sandie Peggie should not diminish her courage, and warned that others might use the ruling to attack her. The decision concerned Peggie’s claim that her union, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), failed to support her because of her gender-critical beliefs; it did not concern her separate case about access to women’s changing facilities.

Peggie, 53, sought help after being suspended by NHS Fife following a dispute with a transgender doctor in a women’s changing room in 2023. The tribunal found the union official who handled her complaint did not understand that Peggie’s beliefs were relevant and that she had not asked for legal assistance. Peggie previously won part of a harassment claim against NHS Fife, is appealing other findings, and her spokesman questioned whether union members should have to identify the legal basis for workplace concerns themselves.
