It's not the individual who is required to carry out an "act of worship", but
the school. Indiviuals can opt out of the arrangements.


----------
I am writing on the off chance that anyone may be able to help me
with this.

I have looked into the requirements of the Human Rights Act re
Article 9 of the European Convention (freedom of thought, conscience
and religion) and I have come to the conclusion that section 70 of
the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (requiring collective
worship) is incompatible with the Convention rights.

In order to enforce this through the courts it is necessary to bring
proceedings as a victim of the alleged breach within the past year,
ie a child who has been ordered by a public authority (ie LEA, school
etc.) to worship against their will.

I am going to contact organisations such as the BHA and NSS to see if
they can help with this and possibly finance a case. Any help anyone
can provide would be much appreciated!
