Clerking services costs

Governance professional clerking support can be purchased through packages to suit your school's/academy's needs, which can be topped up with additional meeting purchases throughout the year if your school circumstances change. In addition, we offer a Pay As You Go service for ad hoc governance professional clerking support.

Not sure which package will be right for your board? We are happy to talk it over on 01603 303355 or by email to governanceprofessionalservice@norfolk.gov.uk
