A care service manager who resigned from a charity in protest at an alleged "Christian-only" recruitment policy has won his constructive dismissal case.

Mark Sheridan, 56, from Conwy, north Wales left Prospects, which works with adults with learning disabilities, after eight years in January 2006.

After a tribunal held last December the panel unanimously agreed Mr Sheridan had been discriminated against.

He welcomed the result but Prospects, based in Reading, declined to comment.

Mr Sheridan said: "I am really very pleased with this result.

"When I worked for Prospects I felt that what they were doing was wrong.

"Winning this case now, justifies my claim."
