In September 2009 Exeter nurse Shirley Chaplin was taken off frontline duties after refusing to take off a necklace bearing a cross. Since then Shirley Chaplin, 54, has taken the Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Trust Hospital to an employment tribunal, claiming that taking off a necklace bearing a crucifix would “violate her faith”. In September 2012 Four British Christians – including Shirley – have launched a landmark case on religious freedom at the European Court of Human Rights. The result has been announced today.
