Community Governance with the SLCC
Governance covers the ways in which people and organisations work together and independently, making decisions for the benefit of a local community.
A range of qualifications are available, awarded by the De Montfort University (DMU):
- Certificate of Higher Education (Level 4)
- Foundation Degree (Level 5)
- Honours Degree (Level 6) and
- MA in Public Leadership (Level 7)
How will Community Governance (Level 4) benefit your council?
Ensure your council is operating according to the law:
- Your council can be more confident that it is operating according to the law with sound procedures and financial practices.
- Innovative ideas to better support your community Students bring new ideas back to your council to support its role in serving its communities and working with the planning system.
- Tailored to your council Students can specialise in subjects of particular concern to your council.
- A qualification recognised in law The advanced knowledge builds on the Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA), is recognised in law as a qualification for clerks and offers your council significant returns on its investment.
Who can Take Community Governance?
Any officer whose council would benefit from a deeper understanding of how local councils work – especially officers with CiLCA or new officers coming into the profession. The qualification is also open to councillors.
