Agenda item

Members were informed that a Call for Evidence regarding the supply of and support for Religious Education Teachers was issued. The aim of the inquiry was to provided individuals and organisations such as SACRE an opportunity to contribute to a major national project in the interests of Religious Education.

The Chair noted that the Call for Evidence was issued in between SACRE meetings and as such was not responded to. During the discussion that followed Members suggested that it would have been beneficial to establish a nominated group who can meet in between SACRE meetings to answer any future Calls for Evidence.

Resolved – a) That a nominated group be established so that any future Call
       for Evidence may be addressed in between meetings.

       b) That Hardip Singh Sohal, Jo Fageant, Lynda Bussley and
       Councillor Brooker be appointed to the group.
