What is a SiLC?
A registered SiLC is a senior practitioner who has a broad awareness, knowledge and understanding of land condition issues, providing impartial and professional advice in their field of expertise. SiLC represents the highest level of expertise a Chartered professional can achieve in land condition and brownfield regeneration.
To be placed on the SiLC register, individuals need to undergo an application, open book written exam and interview process. Essentially it is a peer review and assessment process to assure the quality and competence of the people who pass. Candidates for registration must have:
- a degree or equivalent qualification
- chartered status
- sufficient relevant experience in land condition matters
In addition, successful candidates are registered as Suitably Qualified Persons (SQPs) under the National Quality Mark Scheme (NQMS). This is a scheme which was set up by the National Brownfield Forum and recognises professionals qualified to verify expert reports on land condition as part of planning applications and other regulatory processes.
