On Your Marks Clerks

 

We know there will be local council elections on 4th May 2023. Elections don’t come round that often, so it helps to have a reminder of what to do. Even if your council has never had an election there is potential for that to change, which might be a scary prospect. But don’t run for the hills just yet, here’s your chance to get to grips with what to do.

In this 2-hour session we will:

  • Identify the election procedure
  • Ensure key dates are diarised
  • Establish who needs to be on speed-dial
  • Take stock of the election paperwork
  • Get ready for the post-election frenzy
  • Prepare the essential documents your new council will need.
  • Ask questions and share concerns and experiences.

CANCELLED CLERK TOOLKIT 8: Review

This presentation draws together the previous seven toolkit sessions with an end-of-term quiz!

Come prepared to shine.

Questions include these examples-

  • What do the initials RFO stand for?
  • Where does the model publication scheme come from?
  • What is the latest date by which the precept demand can be submitted?

The questions will remind us of the topics we have covered and give you the opportunity to ask questions, especially the ones that pop up during your working day.

We shall also look at how the toolkit topics tie in with the CiLCA qualification.

Open only to Member Clerks and Council Officers.

Clerks Guide to Councillor Induction

You have had an election and are looking forward to meeting the new councillors. They are chomping at the bit and raring to go but – hold on! they know nothing about parish and town councils and their first meeting is just a few days away. How are you going to condense all your years of experience into a 10-minute pep talk?

The bad news is that you can’t. But the good news is that help is at hand in the form of our go-to Induction Guide for Councillors which includes the key documents needed by every council and provides detail on essential council procedures.

This session is equally valuable to new clerks who might be wondering how and where to start that important induction discussion with councillors.

The same session is being delivered on the morning of Thursday 9th March and in the evening of Tuesday 21st March.
