The SACRE has a 3-year Development Plan (for September 2007-September 2010). In preparing this Plan, the SACRE has considered a number of national guidance documents:
This plan covers five development areas (which represent five key action areas in which the SACRE will undertake its responsibilities):
- Review the Agreed RE Syllabus to ensure its effectiveness
- Strengthen links with schools to contribute to the monitoring and improvement of standards, quality and provision of RE in schools
- Develop links with other partners (other key partners being: the local authority, local faith communities, relevant associations and local parents).
- Collective Worship: contribute to monitoring and improvement of quality and provision of collective worship
- Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development: encourage best practice in schools, including promotion of inter faith harmony
The SACRE regularly reviews progress on its Development Plan at its meetings .
