School uniform revisited: procedure, pressure and equality
The House of Lords' decision in R. (on the application of Begum) v. The Headteacher and Governors of Denbigh High School considered whether a particular school uniform policy infringed a student's right to manifest her religion under Article 9. This paper analyses the content of this
decision, and explores how schools should approach the issue of balancing reglious rights with other interests in designing their uniform policy.
