We acknowledge the importance of faith literacy in the civil service and our public services, both to help us to fully understand and celebrate the role of faith in our society, but also to empower government to tackle harmful practices where they occur.

Improving faith literacy is one of the 22 recommendations put forward by Colin Bloom in his independent review of faith engagement. As with all recommendations of the review, the Government will consider this carefully and respond in due course.
