Humanist representation on SACREs (Standing Advisory Councils on Religious Education) in England and SACs (Standing Advisory Councils for Religion, Values and Ethics) in Wales – the bodies that guide local authorities’ religious education provision - is so important to help guarantee a subject and teaching that are both high-quality and fully inclusive of non-religious perspectives. Over 160 of these 173 committees across England and Wales already have a humanist member. We work consistently towards humanist representation on all SACREs/SACs, to fill vacancies where they arise, and to support existing reps in their role.
We need help with maintaining our records of SACREs/SACs and humanist reps, liaising with SACRE/SAC chairs and clerks, publicising the SACRE/SAC rep role, filling vacancies, and supporting existing reps in their role.
