Minutes:
SACRE agreed to consider the impact of COVID on faith communities and on the teaching of RE at their March meeting.
It was noted that Collective Worship was still a requirement on schools, although the extent to which it was happening was unknown. It was recognised that lots of schools were holding collective worship in creative ways, and that there was lots of good work going on particularly in faith schools.
Anne asked SACRE members to consider whether they could contribute an item to a future newsletter, and to get in contact if they could do so. Examples of past newsletters would be circulated to SACRE members.
It was clarified that the RE Ambassadors scheme covered a wide range of faiths and not just Christianity.
