Welcome, Apologies and Changes Of Membership
Minutes:
The Chair welcomed members to the meeting, in particular Fiona Plummer, new representative for the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (Group C).
Apologies were received from:-
Group A - Nicola Peckham and Anas Al-Korj
Group C - Jackie Meering
Group D - Councillor Daunt
It was noted that due to the absence of any representatives from Group B – Church of England, as the Constitution for the SACRE required at least one member from each voting group to be present the meeting was inquorate and that any decisions would need to be ratified at the next quorate meeting.
Members requested that an additional meeting should be arranged as soon as possible.
RESOLVED
(i) that an additional meeting be arranged for 11 November 2013;
(ii) that the Clerk contact members from Group B to express the concern of the SACRE at the lack of attendance by Church of England representatives; and
(iii) that the Clerk contact the relevant officers in Children’s Services to express the concern of the SACRE at the lack of Local Authority support provided for the meeting.
