In the latest edition of Faith in Business Quarterly I interview Catharine Pusey in her former role as Interim Chief Executive of the Employer's Forum on Belief (EFB).
Catharine undertook senior management roles with several major commercial media companies before moving into the not for profit sector to set up and direct the commercial arm of the British Film Institute. She now runs her own consultancy, SBO Consulting Ltd, providing interim and project management expertise in the culture, media and not for profit sectors. In addition to her work with EFB she was Interim CEO of the Employers Forum on Age. Catharine is currently acting through her consultancy as Interim General Manager of Ickworth House, the National Trust property near Bury St. Edmunds.
In an extensive interview we explore whether, as some Christians believe, significant restrictions on our liberties are coming into place rather than the protection from discrimination that the Religion and Belief regulations were intended to bring and whether religion or belief is the Cinderella of the equalities agenda.
Catharine concludes that the profile of the Religion and Belief regulations have been growing for unfortunate reasons in terms of a public mindset that cannot get away from equating religion and extremism, together with approaches to gender issues and the impact of high profile legal cases. But the more the profile rises, the more people become aware that they can ask for accommodations.
