How do you know your council is being effective in keeping people safe?

Councils have a statutory duty to “secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, sufficient provision of educational and recreational leisure-time activities for young people” and to make sure young people have a say in the local offer.

Despite considerable changes in national education policy and school organisation over recent years, councils retain the bulk of their statutory duties. They have a key role as champions of educational excellence for all children and young people in their areas.

The LGA has carried out the eighth Census of Local Authority Councillors in England.

Councils, schools, colleges and health services must work together to support children and young people with special needs and disabilities.

Cohesive communities are about more than just preventing or addressing unacceptable behaviour and hate crime.

Councils have a major role in ensuring your parents get the help they need, whether it is through the services they commission or deliver. Health visitors, family nurse partnerships, early years, children’s centres, youth services and the voluntary sector all have a key role to play.
