Sarah was formally presented with her CiLCA certificate by Councillor David Bell, Chair CDALC Executive Board on 16th January at the Town Council Meeting at Bishop Auckland Town Hall. This is a significant achievement for any Town Clerk , taking a considerable amount of time (while doing the day job), commitment, self-motivation, discipline,  and sacrifice .

CiLCA qualified clerks are quite an elite group and particularly those who have achieved the post 2015 qualification when the previous Level 2 (GCSE) course was replaced by a Level 3 (A level standard).

On average about 150 students achieve CiLCA a year and nationally only about 12% of clerks have the qualification . Well done Sarah!
