Manifestation of religion and belief

In this session we will explore the legal framework which protects both religious and other beliefs and discuss some of the practical issues and challenges which can arise when manifestation of those beliefs conflict with accepted norms or with those of other staff, including a review of some recent Tribunal decisions.

She is currently advising a number of universities in relation to disputes in this area.
