What our members think

“The value to support each other professionally is vital. Without the support of the Society I feel more Clerks would leave the sector for other professions. Having worked in isolation in previous job, I appreciate having the SLCC."
Cathy Tibbles, Clerk to Castle Bromwich Parish Council

"A resounding 'well done' to SLCC for the services I have always received, as well as raising the game for local council clerks. The proactive and forward thinking management of this organisation is welcomed”.
Rodney Duggua, Clerk to Chichester City Council

“As a relatively new clerk I use the website a lot for information and clarification. The material is presented in a clear format in language that is easy to understand. I have always been able to find an answer to my query - it is very easy to find my way around the website”.
Diane Davis, Clerk to Sawtry Parish Council

" I am very pleased that I joined SLCCas the guidance, in particular on-line, has been invaluable. The range of training courses is very good".
Kate Elliott-Turner MILCM, Clerk to Stotfold Town Council
 

The networking between clerks is amazingly helpful in scores of ways, and attendance at conference or training sessions is worth it for that alone. Most clerks have come across a problem the same as ourselves, and come up with the way they dealt with it, and often it is a way someone else may not have thought of.  Information that can be gained from the Society is invaluable and the printed material available is first class. Advice given from our individual experts is second to none and is so willingly given.  Alison Melnyczuk FILCM, Clerk to St Ives Town Council, Cambridgeshire 



I am new to the role, and have already had a couple of really serious issues that have required legal back up. The advice has been – constructive, reassuring and timely on all occasions. Mrs Katherine Owen SILCM, Clerk to Cyngor Tref Frenhinol Caernarfon Royal Town Council, Gwynedd

"Over the last 15 or more years that I have been involved with SLCC, the Society has grown from strength-to-strength to what it is today - a professional and supportive organisation. It is so important in this rapidly changing world for town and parish councils that there is a strong organisation to support the Clerk and give guidance, support, training and networking. We all continue to need this, from the smallest Parish Council with a new Clerk to the largest and experienced Town Council Clerks. The Society meets our needs and continually adapts to meet the new challenges ahead."
Pat Kingsnorth FILCM, Clerk to Leighton-Linslade Town Council
