Jane Chipperton - Chair, Association of Religious Education Inspectors, Advisers and Consultants (AREIAC)

It offers children and young people vital and challenging opportunities not only to clarify their own beliefs, behaviours and values but also to understand those of others – even if they disagree with them. We are all now ‘cultural explorers’: what better context in which to make this exploratory journey than RE.
