Hackney Council's Cabinet approved insourcing employment support for people with learning disabilities, effective February 2027.

Hackney Council's Cabinet Procurement and Insourcing Committee approved a plan in September 2026 to bring employment support for people with learning disabilities in-house. This service, part of Hackney Works, will be implemented from February 1, 2027, aiming to streamline services and reduce duplication.

The insourcing decision, which also includes debt management and financial support, is projected to cost £0.52 million per annum. The council stated that this move will create a more integrated support system for residents by reducing duplication between services.
