It was reported that there are vacancies as follows:

Free Church (2)

Jewish Faith

Hindu Faith

Sikh Faith

Non-religious philosophical conviction

Teacher representatives (6)

Unfortunately, the Head of Achievement and Extended Services was unable to attend the meeting but had provided a brief update that the SAC Membership report to Council has been through Business Cabinet and will be going to the next available full Council.  The report includes nominees representing the Free Church Council, Non-Religious Philosophical Conviction and Teachers.

A Member commented that some people who have expressed an interest in joining SAC have unsatisfactorily had to wait a very long time to be appointed.  It was agreed that having more Members approved will assist with the future quorum of meetings.

Noting that there is a SAC Recruitment Panel following today’s meeting to consider a representative of the Roman Catholic Church, it was urged that the nomination if approved could be added to the report.
