General Note The report, for NSW Department of Education and Training (DET), finds: "In summary then, it is recommended that in the event of a wider roll-out of an ethics-based complement to Special Religious Education: (a.) the ethics-based complement to scripture be described as a course in philosophical ethics, or equivalently, a moral philosophy-based course, or given some such name in order to make clear the boundaries of its content; (b.) a group of independent experts be established at the discretion of the Minister, to oversee (i.) the formulation of criteria to ensure that any ethics course conducted during Special Religious Education time has as its content the subject matter of Ethics as a branch of Philosophy, and against which applications for the provision of such courses could be considered; and (ii.) the assessment of such applications, and subsequent recommendations to the Minister; (c.) that a consultative committee be established to allow regular meetings between ethics providers, the DET and other stakeholders to discuss issues of common concern."
