SCC LP Support for Surrey's Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE)

The 1988 Education Reform Act placed a statutory requirement on every Local Authority (LA) to establish a permanent body called a Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE). The RE curriculum is determined by the local SACRE which is responsible for producing the locally agreed syllabus for RE.

In Surrey, the appointed SACRE is made up of four groups representing:

• oChristian denominations (other than the Church of England)
• oOther faith and belief groups representing the principle religious traditions or beliefs in the county
• oThe Church of England
• oOther faith groups representing the main religious traditions of the area
• oHumanists representing a non-religious world view
• oTeachers Professional Associations
• oSurrey County Council.

Surrey County Council currently commissions professional support for SACRE through a third party provider, the contract for which is scheduled to end on 31 March 2019. In order for the LA to continue to meet its statutory duties, it has been determined that support for SACRE will be re-commissioned under new delivery arrangements as a single package of specialist support.
