Our latest REthinking book aims to provide clear theory and practical ideas for RE teachers (who can then support school management teams, and leaders of Collective Worship) who want to make a realistic contribution to community cohesion in their place of work, as required by Ofsted (in England).

The book helps to emphasise the distinct contribution that RE (and Collective Worship) can make in this area, with practical examples and suggestions for developing programmes of study and themes for reflection.

In July 2008 the Government published Face to Face and Side by Side, a policy statement on framework for partnership in our multi-faith society. Under the heading Opportunities for learning which build understanding, it says:

"Having the opportunity to learn about different religions and beliefs and the relations between them is an important part of developing a sense of shared values. It can also help to tackle myths and misconceptions which can fuel suspicion, fear and mistrust, and enable people to develop an understanding of distinctive elements of different religions and beliefs."
