SACRE is the 'Standing Advisory
Council on Religious Education'. Since 1944 every Local Authority
is required by law to have a SACRE.
The responsibilities of SACRE are:
·
to provide advice to the Local Authority (LA) on all
aspects of its provision for RE in its schools (this does not
include Voluntary Aided Schools);
·
to decide whether the LA's Agreed Syllabus for RE
needs to be reviewed and if so, to ensure that this is
completed;
·
to provide advice to the LA on Collective Worship in
its schools (this does not include Voluntary Aided or Voluntary
Controlled Schools);
·
to consider any requests from Headteachers to hold Collective Worship that is not
of a broadly Christian character;
·
to advise on matters relating to training for
teachers in RE and Collective Worship;
·
to publish an Annual Report of its work.
