She is not being targeted for her religion but her failure to do what was asked for her.
Also The Woman that reported her is a cow.

cant quite agree though i will say the person or persons deciding that she could be told not to do it may well have done so with no intended targeting of her religion or indeed any religion
what they did was not lawful and is not lawful under the articles on freedom of religion
so her not complying shouldnt and most likely cant be held against her
just because a boss says something doesn't make it automatically right or lawful
where she went wrong was not escalating this when first told but as we dont know the full facts she may have been told this by a junior supervisor and decided they didn't understand what they were talking about and just left it at that
if we all escalated everything at the first instance there would be a lot more litigating going on lol
as to the one reporting her ( darn it defending the other party now lol ) they may well belive they are only doing the right thing not understanding the law either ( why should she how many here have read any of these acts all the ay through ) and in any case i defend the right those who dont like religion have to say so and to say if they want some one ike that helping them or thier relatives etc
which takes me back to the mangement who really should undestand these acts and as i said befoe offered to provide another nurse / carer while giving the nurse another job or asking her if she would be happy to not talk about reliogion with that particular person
which could takeme to a big bug bear of mine of management no longer managing anything just following memos and rules and not using judgemnet and knowledge any more ( but that would be another thread lol
)
