A Christian supply teacher from Pembrokeshire, who was suspended from her job after offering to pray for a sick pupil, has been given a chance to return to work.

Olive Jones, aged 54, teaches ill children in their homes and had a complaint lodged against her by the mother of the child, who said the family were not believers.

Mrs Jones, originally from Llanteg, but now living in Weston-super-Mare, has been told by her bosses that sharing her faith with a child could be deemed to be bullying.

She said at the time: "I was in complete shock, I was trembling. I was amazed that a country with such a strong Christian tradition has become a country where it is hard to speak about your faith".

The complaint against Mrs Jones was investigated by North Somerset Council for, whom she was working as a maths supply teacher without a formal contract.

The authority has now agreed it could be "appropriate" for a teacher to offer to share their faith, but said that Mrs Jones had agreed to respect a family's wishes or guidance from a manger before discussing matters of faith.

The council described Mrs Jones' work as "highly regarded" and has offered her further work through its tuition service.

Mrs Jones had been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, where a spokeswoman said that "common sense had prevailed".
