Every Local Authority is required to establish
a Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education
(SACRE). The essential role of the
SACRE is to support the Local Authority and the Local
Authority’s schools in meeting the entitlement of pupils to
engage in high quality Religious Education and Collective
Worship.
(Please note that members of the public are welcome to attend
the Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education meetings
although they may be asked to leave for certain confidential
items. Limited space will be available and members of
the public or press wishing to attend in person are strongly
advised to register in advance by emailing committees@knowsley.gov.uk
or telephoning (0151) 443 2679. The earliest you may register is following the publication of
the agenda for the relevant meeting. Attendees will be
required to show photographic identification (which must be an
official, original document) and will be subject to security checks
including a bag check and body scan (i.e. with a handheld scanning
device). Full information on the Council’s Policy
Statement Regarding Behaviour and Conduct (which includes further
detail of the Council’s Security Procedure at section 4) may
be viewed
