HELM Courses
HELM offers training for elected councillors, historic environment champions and officers in local authorities, regional agencies and government organisations.
- The new 2008-09 HELM Training programme has now been published and places can now be reserved.
- English Heritage and the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) run regional level training events for Heritage and Design Champions on improving design in historic areas. These are based on the successful Building in Context toolkit, a programme developed jointly by English Heritage and the Kent Architecture Centre.
- English Heritage will be holding a National Conference for their network of Heritage Champions on 23rd Ocotber 2008.
- English Heritage’s Streets for All manuals, endorsed by the Department for Transport, give practical guidance to all those involved in decisions affecting streets, including councillors, traffic engineers, urban designers, conservation officers and town planners. To support the manuals, English Heritage is holding workshops in each region throughout the year.
What's New
- English Heritage has now launched the Historic Enivironment Traineeship (HET) Scheme. The first Trainees started work with English Heritage in October 2008 and have been placed within our regional teams across the country. They will gain experience in the application of professional conservation management skills in a planning and development context.
- English Heritage, which launched the Save our Streets campaign in 2004, has now published the best “how to” examples from around the country in ten Streets for All: Practical Case Studies. These showcase examples of councils who have taken the initiative to deal with a particular aspect of street clutter.
