(a) Congratulations to Sophie Taylor – Coxhoe Parish Council – for achieving her CILCA Qualification

7th September 2025

Sophie  was formally presented with her CiLCA certificate by Councillor Allan Blakemore, CDALC Honorary Treasurer,  Audrey Christie , CDALC Executive Officer  and Stuart Dunn , Chair Coxhoe Parish Council on Wednesday 3rd September  at the Parish Council Meeting at Coxhoe.

Achieving CiLCA is an extraordinary achievement for any parish council clerk.  It’s a qualification and a commitment that takes a considerable amount of time, self motivation, discipline, sacrifice and why we at CDALC want to make sure we help celebrate your success with you and your councils.

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). In Durham only 32% of Clerks have achieved this qualification. Well Done Sophie!
