The below Parliamentary question was asked by Fiona Bruce on 2016-06-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will take steps to ensure that staff in her Department receive religious literacy training.

Nick Gibb

We currently have no plans to carry out religious literacy training in the Department.

Civil Service Learning, the main training portal for Civil Servants, has a broad range of diversity and inclusion courses, which are available to all civil servants. There is also a two day course covering both Abrahamic and Dharmic religions for officials who need a more in depth understanding to carry out their role.
