I move amendment No. 2:
In page 13, line 17, after "education," to insert "faith formation,".
This is an amendment to the section of the Bill which relates to a person in authority. A number of categories have been listed in the Bill but it is important to add "faith formation" after "education" because we know religious education and faith formation often take place in an informal setting. The amendment aims to clarify the existing section by placing beyond any doubt the inclusion of those engaged in faith formation among those considered to be a person in authority. I hope the Minister will accept the amendment.
