A senior NHS occupational therapist, who was disciplined for giving a Christian book to a Muslim colleague, lost her appeal on 7 April against an Employment Tribunal ruling.
Judge Eady QC upheld the Tribunal’s decision, that the NHS had acted reasonably in disciplining Victoria Wasteney for inviting her colleague to church-related events, praying with her (with consent) and giving her a Christian book.
Miss Wasteney said in reaction: ‘What the court clearly failed to do was to say how, in today’s politically-correct world, any Christian can even enter into a conversation with a fellow employee on the subject of religion and not, potentially, later end up in an Employment Tribunal.’
