That the amendments made to the SACRE Constitution, as set out in the report, be approved.

The Executive considered a report which set out proposed amendments to the Constitution of the Wokingham Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE).

Councillor Haitham Taylor advised the meeting that SACRE was made up of members of the Council, teachers and teaching unions and members of faith groups.  The remit of SACRE was to monitor and support the delivery of religious education and collective worship in schools and also provide a locally agreed syllabus of religious education which was revised every five years.  The SACRE Constitution had not been reviewed since 2009 and therefore the new Chairman had decided that a review was required.  Members noted the proposed amendments which were set out in the report. 

RESOLVED:  That the amendments made to the SACRE Constitution, as set out in the report, be approved.
