To comment on the draft SACRE Annual report for the academic year September 2016 to July 2017.

SACRE considered its annual report for 2016/17. Stephen Pett, religious education consultant, introduced the report and explained that the format had been customised for Herefordshire SACRE and once finalised the report would be sent to the national association of SACREs.  

SACRE made the points below in the debate that followed:

·         The report should be circulated more widely to schools and councillors.

·         It was requested that the report was featured in Spotlight, circulated to teachers; and

·         The report should be included in the ward member update.

Resolved: that SACRE approves the annual report and agrees it is circulated to teachers through Spotlight and circulated to elected members of Herefordshire Council through the ward member update.
