Minutes:
Members sought clarification on the resignation of S Brown. The Clerk advised members that she had written to S. Brown to convey best wishes on behalf of SACRE and to advise him that members would like him to remain as a member of SACRE as they valued his contribution. The Clerk advised members that no further correspondence had been received and it was agreed that Councillor M Dixon would write to him and send a card on behalf of SACRE.
I Osborne referred to Minute No. 8 and the SMSC and British Values Conference and asked if there was any information in relation to British Values.
The Specialist Inspector for Religious Education responded that British Values would be actively promoted in all schools and not just taught. She also advised members that she would re-schedule the presentation that she unfortunately had to cancel. There was also a seminar on 15 June 2015 to look at British Values and SACRE had a part to play in how it would be promoted in schools.
Members discussed British values and the Chairman suggested that this area be discussed in more detail at the SMSC and British Values training event.
