Sarah Fraser Butlin KC, Cloisters: Religion and Belief Discrimination: Where Next?

Sarah Fraser Butlin KC, Barrister, Cloisters Chambers, Fellow at Selwyn College, Cambridge and Affiliated Lecturer in Labour Law at The University of Cambridge will be speaking on Religion and Belief Discrimination Law: Where Next? on Monday 25 November 2024 from 5pm to 6.30pm at the Woolf Institute, Cambridge.  Lady Hale will also be there.

Religion and belief discrimination in the workplace is a fast-moving area. Sarah Fraser Butlin KC will outline the law and delve into the challenges that the law faces in managing the conflict between employees wanting to manifest their religion and belief and the needs of businesses to ensure a safe environment where diversity and pluralism can thrive.

Woolf Institute will be hosting Sarah’s talk which is open to all.  It is a general discussion for both lawyers and those interested in employment and industrial relations law as well as non practitioners.  Lady Hale will be in attendance.  The session will be followed by dinner in the Wandsworth Room at St John’s College, Cambridge, CB2 1TP for a donation of £60.  Attendees will be asked to make their way over to St John’s for between 6.45pm to 7pm.  Please note that places at dinner are limited.  If the cost of dinner is restrictive please contact Jean Hughes jean@industriallawsociety.org.uk to discuss.

Woolf Institute is within the grounds of Westminster College, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0AA.  Pedestrian access is via the gate on Madingley Road.
