Beliefs in everyday jobs
This Kapow pupil video is part of the Kapow Religion and worldviews scheme of work. It shows how people in different jobs use their understanding of religious and non-religious beliefs to support others and do their work with respect and care. A doctor explains how patients’ beliefs can affect medical treatment, such as fasting during Ramadan or refusing blood transfusions. A carer talks about respecting routines, diets, and daily practices. A science teacher shares how understanding beliefs helps when teaching sensitive topics like ethics.
Other jobs also benefit from knowing about worldviews. A human resources manager uses this understanding to support fair hiring and create inclusive workplaces. A town planner makes sure public spaces meet the needs of all communities. An IT manager considers cultural differences when building systems. A journalist explains how knowledge of beliefs helps with fair reporting. From planning events to coaching sports teams, these examples show how being aware of others’ beliefs helps build respect, inclusion, and teamwork.
