RE Council Communications Survey results
In April, the RE Council conducted a survey to ascertain members' views
on communication between the Council and its member organisations. The survey
was sent to all the listed representatives of all the Council's member bodies
and we received 30 responses, representing 23 organisations. These graphs give
a broad picture of members' views of our current communications and of their
ideas as to how we might improve and develop them. The survey results will be
used to inform our strategy for communications in the coming months and years.

The report will consider the views of teachers, academics and faith and belief organisations. The minister has also offered support to help shape a revised RE teaching framework that ensures RE retains its academic rigour and is in step with the design and style of a National Curriculum.
