Minutes:
Following deferral of this item at the previous meeting SACRE was asked to consider the appointment of the Chair and Vice-Chair for the 2023-24 academic year.
In considering the appointments, SACRE was advised that due to her retirement Helen Mooney had needed to step back as Vice-Chair of the Committee with a new nomination therefore required.
Having sought nominations for both positions it was AGREED that:
(1) Basma ElShayyal be re-elected as Chair of Brent SACRE for the 2023-24 academic year.
(2) Ian Slade be elected as Vice-Chair of Brent SACRE for the 2023-24 academic year.
The Chair, supported by all members of SACRE, took the opportunity to thank Helen Mooney for the work undertaken and support offered as Vice-Chair and to wish her well for the future.
