Council-related debt
Hackney Council is insourcing debt and employment support services to streamline resident support.
Hackney Council's Cabinet Procurement and Insourcing Committee approved a decision in September 2026 to insource debt and employment support services. This move aims to streamline support for residents by bringing elements of the Floating Support service, including Debt Management and Financial Support, and employment support for people with learning disabilities, in-house. The implementation of these changes is scheduled for February 1, 2027.
The council stated that this insourcing will cost £0.52 million per annum and is intended to reduce duplication while creating a more integrated support system. This decision relates to how the council manages and assists residents with their financial obligations, including those potentially owed to the council, by providing direct support services.
