Floating Support Service

1 story · 1 council

Hackney Council is insourcing elements of its Floating Support Service, which provides flexible support to residents, with implementation set for February 2027.

Hackney Council's Cabinet Procurement and Insourcing Committee approved the insourcing of two elements of its Floating Support Service in September 2026. This decision affects debt management and financial support, as well as employment support for people with learning disabilities. The council stated this aims to streamline services and reduce duplication.

The implementation of these changes is scheduled to begin from February 1, 2027. The insourcing of these services, which provide flexible support to individuals in their own homes, is projected to cost £0.52 million per annum.
