Central Branch

Central Branch is based in the Forth Valley covering the Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling Council areas.

In Central Branch our purpose is:

• To raise awareness of issues relevant to the profession
• To promote emerging practice
• To provide opportunities for professional networking
• To connect with the wider profession, CILIP and CILIPS
• Encourage engagement and participation through an ethos of informality and a sense of fun

Members are the focus of our Branch and we offer opportunities to get together including social events and training, which are always informal, fun and we enthusiastically welcome new faces (but not in a scary way!)

We came up with the following acronym, which encompasses what we hope to achieve by being part of Central Branch:

Making connections

Enthusiastic

Motivated

Bold

Engaged

Relevant

Still here
