N. Irish Catholic schools fight back as pressure mounts to adopt secular ideologies

Just as the Scottish Bishops’ Conference has robustly engaged the Department of Education in Scotland on the removal of protections for Catholic denominational education, the Catholic Schools' Trustee Service has engaged in the consultative process on Relationship and Sexuality Education in Northern Ireland.  

Chaired by Bishop Donal McKeown of Derry, the Catholic Schools' Trustee Service is the sectoral body for, and represents the trustees of the Catholic family of schools. In parallel with the consultation process in Scotland, the window for submissions is open until 24^th November.
