Hackney Education
Hackney Council is streamlining young people's health services, shifting PSHE education delivery to schools.
Hackney Council is streamlining young people's health services, with Public Health leading a redesign of services commissioned from Young Hackney. This initiative, announced in December 2025, aims to build capacity within schools to deliver Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education. The council is shifting away from direct delivery of PSHE in schools, instead empowering schools to provide this education themselves.
Targeted support will be provided for sensitive topics such as Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) and substance use. The council's aim is to address variability in young people's experiences and achieve a more integrated and effective model for health services.
