Agenda item

The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director Children and Young People’s Services regarding a request from Durham County Council’s Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE) to make a change to its membership, an action which requires altering the constitution (for copy of report, see file of minutes).

In moving the recommendation, the Leader of the Council informed Cabinet that the change to the Constitution would ensure proportionate and balanced representation of all worldviews, religious and non-religious, which featured in the R.E. Agreed Syllabus.

Councillor T Henderson, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Children and Young People’s Services seconded the recommendation in the report adding that the equality impact assessment demonstrated that the request was fair and proportionate to enable Humanist representation on Durham SACRE.

Resolved:

That the recommendations in the report be approved.
