4.         Summary of Other Work Undertaken

a. Work is ongoing to carry out the NASACRE Self-Assessment Toolkit.  The Working Group met on 25 October 2024, and discussed Area 4 (promoting improvement in the provision and quality of collective worship).  Work is ongoing to explore areas for further development, information gathering, and next steps.  It is proposed that the group meet again in Spring 2025, once officers have had opportunity and discuss the outcomes of the first meeting.  It is hoped that a member of Group C join the Working Group to ensure representation from all four groups making up the SACRE; as such, nominations or volunteers are welcome.
