Hackney Council has appointed Madeline Levy as an Orthodox Jewish Representative to the Children and Young People's Scrutiny Commission.

The decision was made at a Full Council meeting held on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Levy will serve as a non-statutory co-optee on the commission, which is responsible for scrutinising the council's services related to children and young people.

The appointment aligns with the council's constitution, which allows for co-opted members to join overview and scrutiny commissions. Levy's role will involve contributing to the commission's work in holding the executive to account and making recommendations for service improvements.
