The County Council is required to establish and maintain a Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE) as part of its statutory education function and to make appointments to it in accordance with the relevant legislation.
Following the County Council election in May 2021 appointments to SACRE were made following procedures used in previous years. There are currently three matters requiring attention to complete and regularise appointments to SACRE – the filling of a vacancy for an elected member, the status of the Free Church representative and the determination of a request for membership by the Humanist Society.
The report explains the background to these matters and the reasons for proposals.
