Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre (ERCC) is a Scottish charity established in 1978, providing free support to survivors of sexual violence.
[9][10][11][12] In 2021, following abuse to staff on social media and in phone calls, the centre closed its doors temporarily and re-opened after additional security measure were taken.
[13] In 2024, the United Kingdom saw multiple employment tribunal cases over views on transgender people, and ERCC had one constructive dismissal claim in January.
In May 2024, an employment tribunal gave a decision in favour of Adams, who was constructively dismissed by Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre because of her 'gender-critical' beliefs.
The review commissioned by Rape Crisis Scotland found that she "did not understand the limits on her role's authority, when to refer decisions to trustees and failed to set professional standards of behaviour".
