Hi
We had the same issue at Glasgow and this is what we came up with:
4.2 Manifestation of freedom of thought, conscience and religion is not
absolute, and intervention may be justified where this is considered
necessary to protect the rights of others. The University in particular
recognises that it has a positive obligation to promote pluralism and
tolerance, and this Policy cannot be interpreted by any group or person as
conferring the right to engage in any activity or perform any act that
results in the destruction of the rights of others.
You can find our religion or belief policy on our website. Scroll down to
the bottom of the web page.

Subject: Religion and Belief Policy
We are having some trouble in agreeing a form of words for our policy on
religion and
belief that the academic trade unions find acceptable AND is compliant with
the
requirement to protect the rights and freedoms of others. I would be very
grateful if
anyone out there has a form of words they could share with me.
