020 Vegetarianism and Philosophical Belief

While most employers would be familiar with religious discrimination rights, the Equality Act 2010 goes beyond safeguarding employees' religious beliefs. It covers ‘philosophical’ beliefs as well. 

Many cases have established that certain belief systems can be afforded protection by law. There have also been notable failures to establish a case that meets the criteria for discrimination protection - Consisbee v Crossley Farms Ltd. 

In this episode, we’ll discuss what sort of questions will help you confirm if a ‘belief’ qualifies for protection.
