Gloucestershire County Council is a large local government authority serving the county of Gloucestershire in South West England, responsible for a range of public services including education, social care, housing, and transport. It describes its aim as helping residents live healthy lives, access education and employment, and feel proud of their area, with fairness, accessible services, and a welcoming community at the core. The council engages with residents and local partners to address community needs. Based in Gloucester, it operates within the government administration sector and oversees county-wide services, sometimes commissioning external bodies to assess service quality, such as care providers. In May 2026 it launched a system to automatically enrol eligible children for free school meals, a development that expands access to support in education.
