Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People, on the Halton Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education
(SACRE) Constitution.
The Board was advised that the broad role of a SACRE was to support the
effective provision of Religious Education and collective worship in schools.
Each local education authority should work with its SACRE to review existing
provision and consider if any changes were required to the agreed syllabus or
in the support offered to schools. It was noted that a SACRE comprised of four
groups representing Christian denominations, the Church of England,
associations representing teachers and the local education authority. The Halton SACRE required a constitution to ensure it operated
efficiently and fulfilled its statutory duties.
RESOLVED: That Council be
recommended to approve the Halton SACRE Constitution.
