Map of London Boroughs from South London Inter Faith Group

How are things going with your local faith forum?

• Are local councils (& police, NHS) able to reach their local faith communities to discuss priority issues?
• Do religious groups contribute to policy and decision-making?
• Education ♦ hate crime ♦ cohesion ♦ Prevent strategy ♦ equalities/discrimination ♦ stop & search ♦ planning ♦ neighbourhood policing ♦ health care ♦ employment ♦ emergencies ♦ end of life care – what are the issues that deserve attention?
• Who sets the agenda?  Who is involved?  Who pays?  How does it work?
• How do SACRE and Borough Deans fit in?  Is inter faith dialogue one of the activities?
• What happens when key people leave?  Is limited time used well?
• Twitter, texts, meetings, websites, blogs – what works best?
• Is the future bright & rosy?  Or not?
