Local Authorities

Supporting Local Authorities with Social Work Staffing, Assessments & Service Stability

For over 10 years, Ackerman Pierce has specialised in Social Work staffing and project support for Local Authorities across the UK. We work in close partnership with councils to source, prepare and sustain high-quality social care professionals at every level, from frontline Social Workers through to Interim and Senior Management.

Supporting Assessments, Reviews & Targeted Workforce Solutions

We understand the operational pressures currently facing Local Authorities, including workforce shortages, increasing caseloads, and assessment backlogs. Changes within the locum recruitment market have contributed to service delays and increased demand for structured, reliable support.

Our mission is to help councils regain stability and control by delivering efficient, compliant, and cost-effective solutions that reduce backlogs and safeguard service users.

Assessment & Review Support

We have supported councils with:

Carers’ Assessments
Face-to-Face Assessments
Telephone Reviews
Annual Reviews
Reassessments and case updates

Each project is tailored to the individual authority’s needs, governance framework, and reporting requirements.

A Partnership Approach

We pride ourselves on transparency, preparation, and workforce stability. All professionals supplied are fully vetted and prepared to meet local authority expectations, safeguarding standards, and performance measures.

Whether you require targeted intervention support, structured backlog reduction, or interim workforce cover, we will work with you to deliver measurable outcomes aligned with your statutory duties.
