Muslim culture

Accommodating the specific requirements of certain religions and religious beliefs is now covered by the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003. There are also many companies who wish to provide facilities for their non-Christian staff as a matter of good employer practice.

You can read the Regulations on the OPSI website at [this link] and we've provided a selection of links with specific Muslim-related advice below:

• Provision of prayer facilities : The Muslim Council of Britain website has a good advice page at [this link].
• Sports facilities : Sport England used to provide specific advice in a no-longer-available Design Guidance Note on Changing Rooms and Lockers, but equivalent advice seems to be missing from the latest Design Guidance Note on Pavilions and Clubhouses. See [this link].
