The vital case of Felix Ngole: Christian beliefs in the workplace

The essence of the case against Christian social worker Felix Ngole is that his Christian beliefs make him unemployable.

Felix applied for his "dream job" as a Mental Health Support Worker with Touchstone Leeds. Felix has experience supporting people with mental health issues from all walks of life in various settings, and the appropriate professional qualifications to boot. After going through a recruitment process, including interview, Felix was provisionally offered the job and told he was the best candidate in interview and that he gained the highest marks of any candidate on an equality and diversity assessment.

After obtaining references and doing a search online, Touchstone suddenly changed its mind. Touchstone discovered articles online describing a previous court case in which Felix had been fully vindicated.
