45,000+ records
The Local Authority database covers all local government including Councillors, Senior and Mid-Level Management Posts and key lower level functional positions across all UK Councils. This database covers Social Care, Adult Services, Children’s Services, Health, Housing and Education as well as Police and Fire Services, plus Parks, Transport and Combined Authorities.
The structure of Local Authorities varies across the UK. England has a mixture of ‘single tier’ authorities – Unitary / Metropolitan / London Boroughs and ‘two tier’ authorities – English Country Councils and District Councils, where functions are divided between the two authority types. Wales and Scotland have a single Unitary Authority for each area.
