Local Council Award Scheme — Introducing the new criteria

This event explains the changes to the scheme's criteria and how to apply them.

The Local Council Award Scheme is the accreditation scheme for parish and town councils in England. It helps recognise the achievements of those in the sector and provides a framework for their continuing improvement.

The scheme's criteria are regularly reviewed, and this Autumn, updated criteria will be published for future applicants. This webinar will review the changes and explain how to apply them and the benefits of participating. It is open to councillors, clerks, and other council staff interested in the scheme.

New applications to the scheme will need to be based on the new criteria from January 2025.
