Who’s involved?

The SiLC Professional and Technical Panel (PTP) was established to develop a system for the registration of individuals.

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.

All supporting professional bodies have been invited to participate on the SiLC PTP. Those currently involved include:

  • The Association of Geoenvironmental and Geotechnical Specialists
  • The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management
  • The Institution of Civil Engineers
  • The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health
  • The Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment
  • The Institution of Environmental Sciences
  • Royal Society of Chemistry
  • The Geological Society.

Forum Court Associates provides the secretariat for SiLC and the Registration Scheme. In 2011 eight of these professional bodies formed SiLC Register Ltd, a company limited by guarantee. The SiLC PTP considers that this represents the most effective way of building on existing schemes run by the various professional bodies.
