I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.

It was highlighted that the neighbourhood survey results have some confidential information within the free text. Please only share the bar graph with others and not the free text. All agreed. TVP Chiltern Area Policing Priorities: A reduction in residential burglary A reduction in serious violence An improvement in victim satisfaction Continued improvement in our response to domestic abuse victimisation An increase in confidence of victims of hidden harm to report incidents and crimes A continued improvement in the identification and safeguarding of children and adults vulnerable to exploitation. A continued increase in the confidence of rural communities to report crime A continued improvement in our response to fraud (including cyber fraud) A discussion was had to show that the above priorities set by the Police and Crime Commissioner is often different to the priorities that the neighbourhood wish to see being addressed. #cleanChesham is taking place this Saturday. This is a great example of the community (led by EC) addressing a local issue (littering) rather than expecting the police to tackle it.
