ALACE is the trade union for local authority chief executives and chief officers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We exist to provide collective action and individual support to our members to improve our conditions of services, and to protect members against anything that threatens the integrity, security and continuation of their role in public service.
Collective action
ALACE is the recognised negotiating body for chief executives’ employment conditions. We represent our members on pay, pension entitlements, and all other national conditions of service.
Individual support
Our team of specialist professional consultants are available on request to support members who are experiencing difficulties with their local authority employers – on issues as wide-ranging as pay negotiations handling the media, dealing with disciplinary issues, and securing retirement benefits.

- Monitoring Officers
- Directors
- Chief executives of certain other public sector organisations
(such as police authorities).
