Belief rights | Council told to retrain staff on freedom of speech after 'gender-fluid dog' row

A council has been ordered to retrain its staff on freedom of belief and speech after an employment tribunal ruled in favour of a social worker who was discriminated against following comments made about a colleague’s 'gender-neutral' dog.

Cambridgeshire County Council was instructed by the tribunal to revise its mandatory e-learning programme to include a section on freedom of belief and speech in the workplace.
