Who's Involved

A SiLC Professional and Technical Panel (PTP) was established to develop a system for the registration of individuals completing the Land Condition Record (LCR). An individual who becomes registered will be a "Specialist in Land Condition" and be known as a SiLC. The use of a registered SiLC will give the highest level of credibility to the information that is included in the LCR.

All relevant professional bodies have been invited to participate on the SiLC PTP. Those currently involved include the Association of Geotechnical Specialists, The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management, The Institution of Civil Engineers, The Chartered Institution of Environmental Health, The Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, The Royal Society of Chemistry and The Geological Society

The SiLC PTP has agreed that the process for registering individuals as a SiLC, should comprise of:

• written application to demonstrate a minimum of 8 years experience and appropriate level of membership to a relevant professional body
• written assessment to test knowledge, understanding and application of the Land Condition Record
• peer interview

The Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) acts as home and secretariat for the Registration Scheme and the SiLC PTP. The SiLC PTP consider that this represents the most effective way of building on existing schemes run by the various professional bodies, without the need for the establishment of a new organisation to run this particular initiative.
