The Countryside Agency and the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) were tasked with developing a National Training Strategy to provide training and support for parish and town councils. The purpose of the Strategy is to enable councils to make the most of their role and to be able to carry out their duties more easily.
A National Steering Group was set up with representatives from a wide range of organisations with an interest to help develop this Strategy. This Strategy seeks to identify the key skills required to be an effective parish clerk building on the good work of existing training providers.
The Strategy will determine new ways in which parish clerks and councillors work including:
- An emphasis on measurable performance and quality initiatives
- A continued focus on competence and lifelong learning.
- A need for a flexible approach towards continuing professional development.
