CLG Framework: Faith Literacy Training and Guidelines for Local Authorities
The many references to the need to develop the religious literacy of people working in public bodies, particularly local authorities, are most welcome. At all the FbRN seminars and conferences, public officers’ lack of awareness and skills, in relating to faith groups, has been raised as a problem faced by those groups. (There of course some examples of very good practice).
FbRN is working with CLG and other partners to develop a religious literacy programme for people who work in the public sector. It is intended to build on the best of what is already available.
FbRN is also a member of a working group that is reviewing the 2002 good practice guidance for local authorities, Faith in Community.
Do you have any examples of good practice that we could use to help with this?
Do you have experience, either positive or negative, that will help us with these tasks?
What do you think needs to go into a ‘religious literacy’ programme?
Do you have a better name for a programme that is designed to give people the awareness and skills that they need to work well with faith groups?
