Minutes:
Jo Fageant, Professional Advisor, outlined the aims and current status of the Crossing the Bridges Project for the benefit of new SACRE members.
It was highlighted that the principle aim of the Project was to compile and maintain an up-to-date list of all places of worship available to schools for pupils to visit. The list was to include the relevant points of contact, an advisory on what kind of visit was available and to what age group, and the appropriate supporting materials e.g. booking forms, handbooks, and feedback forms.
Members suggested that the list be expanded to include potential sites for multi-faith visits (for both children and adults), with a view to increasing understanding and community between disparate faith groups. It was suggested that that such days could take place within schools, though it was understood that this would be dependant on timetabling and syllabus/curriculum requirements. It was agreed that the matter be given additional thought for potential discussion at the next Hub meeting.
