Decision details

Consideration was given to a report that detailed changes to the constitution of the Stockton-on-Tees SACRE. 

The current constitution did not reflect the local community and the proposed removals had historically remained vacant.  The introduction of ‘Other World Views’ allows for all religions (other than those named within Group A) and for the ever-changing local landscape.

SACRE approved the proposed changes at their meeting held on Thursday 16 November 2023.

RESOLVED that:-

To change the SACRE constitution as below:

1. To introduce the category of ‘Other World Views’ under Group A (2 positions).

2. To remove ‘Society of Friends’ and Islamic Society’ from Group A.

The current SACRE constitution is not fit for purpose and does not reflect the local community.

None.
