Exeter nurse applies for new discrimination hearing

An Exeter nurse is continuing her battle to be considered a victim of religious discrimination, because she was banned from wearing a crucifix around her neck at work.

Shirley Chaplain was told by managers at the RD &E hospital that her necklace was a safety hazard because it could be grabbed by a patient.

An application has been made for referral to the Grand Chamber of European Court of Human Rights to consider the case.

A decision on whether the further hearing will take place will be known before the summer.
