Historic England provides opportunities and advice which support Heritage Champions in their role.
Support for Heritage Champions

Other sources of advice
In addition, Historic England has published advice documents and research reports which Heritage Champions find useful:
- The joint publication with the Local Government Association Making the most of your heritage assets
- The annual Heritage Counts reports, which include resources such as the Local Authority Profiles. Heritage Champions find these useful for understanding the scope of heritage in any given local authority
