The
BBC has reported on The Runnymede Trust's interim
findings from a consultation on the establishment
of community cohesion in particular areas of the country
and what the phrase and its impact mean to the people
in these areas. See the BBC
article. and the link
to the trust’s interim report can be located
below. This interim report by Professor Audrey Osler
presents some initial observations from the faith
schools and community cohesion project. It draws upon
a series of community consultation workshops that
took place with local stakeholders around the country
in summer 2007. The report highlights shared challenges
as well as diverse and particular responses to ways
in which a school system that includes faith schools
successfully prepares young people for living in a
multicultural society.
