Overview

• Kristie Higgs, a school worker from Gloucestershire, was dismissed in 2019 for Facebook posts criticizing LGBT+ relationship education.
• Higgs argues her dismissal was due to her Christian beliefs, while the school claims it was because of the language used in her posts.
• An anonymous complaint led to her suspension and subsequent dismissal after a disciplinary hearing.
• An employment tribunal initially ruled her dismissal lawful, but an Employment Appeal Tribunal later ruled in her favor, ordering a new hearing.
• Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, Higgs is now appealing the decision to order a new tribunal hearing, with the Court of Appeal expected to conclude the hearing on Thursday.
