The National Improvement and Development Board has launched a consultation to inform the first ever national improvement strategy for town and parish councils. We would love to hear from all levels of local government. Please spread the word!The first step in this consultation is a short survey. This will help us get a feel for what is important to councils, county associations and other partners. Most of 2016 will be spent on a more in depth consultation, which will include face-to-face discussions – not just on-line surveys!

The Introduction to Local Council Administration is the successful online induction course for clerks best undertaken before attempting the Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA). ILCA is one of the training offers delivered under the National Training Strategy.
ILCA was designed for council officers, but all the information is relevant to councillors as well and might be a good alternative for those who would like an online learning tool.
Berkshire has now started a mentoring scheme for clerks undertaking CiLCA which is the recognized qualification for clerks and is one of the criteria which enables councils to gain the General Power of Competence.
