Seminar 1

Collective Worship - The Current Landscape

 

Bangor University

 

September 2014

 

       The Network met to explore the current legal and educational context relating to the requirement to hold acts of

       collective worship (England, Northern Ireland, Wales) and religious observance (Scotland) in schools. 

 

       Papers critically examined the current aims, law and policy in each country and drew on existing research and known

       practice to highlight issues of particular relevance.

 

       Final versions of the papers will be published in an edited collection in 2016/17.

 

       A summary of the key issues, concerns and opportunities for each country may be found here:
