Conferences

The Society of Local Council Clerks is committed to promote the professional standing and knowledge of its members through training and qualification of its members and of prospective members.

Our comprehensive training and conference programme offers clerks a range of training courses, conferences, workshops and qualifications designed to improve the abilities and skills of the clerk at all levels and from any size of Council. The programme also provides clerks with an excellent opportunity to discuss and share common issues.

Conference for Practitioners
Different to all other Conferences, in that Practitioners have chosen their ‘top 12’ topics – such as Section 106/Planning, Budget preparation, Risk Management, Updates on minor new legislation, Relationships with Principal Councils & CPD – and we provide the internal & external experts for 75 minute workshops.


Larger Councils’ Conference
Now in its third year, firmly established as the ‘must go’ event for Clerks and their Deputies from all Larger Councils – join over 100 colleagues. Enjoy ‘high level’ discussions with your fellow ‘shakers & movers’ of our profession.


Summer Seminars
Led for the past 17 years by our University partners, the sector’s leading academic institution, in the relaxing environs of Cheltenham. An opportunity to debate thought-provoking and topical issues of the day in a stimulating atmosphere – whilst the setting is friendly and informal, debate is typically ‘cut and thrust’.

Regional Conferences
As the local government sector becomes more complicated and the clerk’s duties increase the need for timely information and support is essential. The One-day Regional Conferences meet this need and have set a new standard for tackling the major national issues of the day and bringing them to clerks and councillors all over England and Wales.


SLCC Bookshop
The SLCC Bookshop will be present at every conference throughout 2008, why not come along with a list of books to purchase, at discounted prices!
