Examples:
The Local Authority is of the view that the children cannot be returned to the care of their mother.
The Local Authority recognises that the separation of siblings should not be taken lightly and this can have an impact on a childs’s identity and emotional wellbeing
To do with a parenting assessment carried out by social workers. Would "lokale instantie" be a viable translation?

: Of: de aangewezen lokale instantie.
"gemeenteraad" kan hier helemaal niet, dat is een controlerend orgaan met hoogstens een indirecte invloed op de bevoegdheden van instanties.

: Ik zou gaan voor plaatselijk. Hoeft overigens niet de gemeente te zijn- sommige bevoegdheden worden uitgeoefend op het niveau van de provincie of (in België) de Gemeenschappen of Gewesten.

gemeente/gemeenteraad
In different languages, this concept of 'leading role in solving the local population's problems', organizing, supplying finances, you name it, are expressed in various differing names. I am sure that the "Local Authority" in the question was equal to local councils, or city councils, and that's usually called and referred to as 'de Gemeent' in the Netherlands, no need to translate it word-for-word. Lokaal is local, but no need ... Not really about giving good counsel by the council, 'tanács' in Hungarian in both nominal forms and as a base for the verb as well. But the Dutch call it 'the local authorities'

Yeah, 'plaatselijk' is also local, also not needed here.

Besides, I should add that of course the gemeente, just like the local authorities, have various bodies to tackle various areas of problems, like those referred to in the question.

In Nederland lopen ouderschapsbeoordelingen meen ik via het Bureau Jeugdzorg.
Bureau Jeugdzorg is een Nederlandse zorginstelling voor de jeugd met zowel vrijwillige zorg als verplichte hulpverlening en begeleiding.
Het Bureau Jeugdzorg wordt ingedeeld als een Nederlandse overheidsinstantie (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorie:Nederlandse_overheids...
Het bureau heeft in 15 regio's hoofdlocaties plus nog verschillende sublocaties.
Anno 2013 zijn er vergaande plannen om de Bureaus Jeugdzorg onder verantwoordelijkheid van gemeenten te brengen.
