Disciplined for a book
An Employment Tribunal ruled in late March that the employer of a senior occupational therapist in London was justified in disciplining her for giving a Christian book to a Muslim colleague.
Christian Concern
Victoria Wasteney worked as an occupational therapist at the East London NHS Foundation Trust for eight years and had an exemplary record. However, she was accused of ‘harassing and bullying’ her Muslim colleague for giving her a book about a Muslim woman’s encounter with Christianity. And even though the colleague had given her consent, senior managers also told Miss Wasteney that she was wrong to pray with her and invite her to church events.
