Local Council Clerk's Guide - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book fills an important gap in the published advice available to the thousands of individuals who act as parish council clerks. It covers all aspects of a clerk's appointment and duties, from the constitutional role of local councils, through the terms of appointment of clerks to their day-to-day responsibilities. Practical advice and guidance is given on such matters as preparing for meetings, supervision of staff (if any!), finances and, most importantly, relationships with councillors. erms and conditions of employment, qualifications and training are covered, and there is a section on the legal status of local councils. This new edition takes account of the many changes in law and practice since the book was first published. The main change is the bringing into force of the new ethical framework for councillors enacted in the Local Government Act 2000 but unimplemented when the first edition went to press. Other important changes include new Accounts and Audit Regulations made in 2003 and, also in 2003, the promulgation of the Quality Parish Council Scheme in England.
