RE & Collective Worship in NI Primary Schools

Having intervened last year in the appeal hearing with regards to a High Court decision on the delivery of Religious Education and provision of Collective Worship in primary schools in Northern Ireland, Dr Andy Brown, chair of the Transferor Representatives’ Council (TRC), said today, “The Court of Appeal Judgement is detailed and merits careful consideration. However, we are heartened by the Court’s view that there was no breach of the relevant Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights.”
