DAPTC works with numerous individuals and organisations. Some of those organisations, like the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) and the Society for Local Council Clerks (SLCC) are firmly based in the local council sector. Some companies provide expert advice on their specialised subjects or deliver services and DAPTC works with others to develop and deliver training courses.
