integrated young people's service
Hackney Council is redesigning its integrated young people's health services, empowering schools to deliver PSHE education.
Hackney Council is redesigning its integrated young people's health services, which are delivered by Young Hackney, to streamline provision and empower schools. Public Health is leading this redesign of services commissioned from Young Hackney, as reported in December 2025.
The council is shifting away from direct delivery of Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education in schools. Instead, the focus is on building capacity within schools to deliver PSHE themselves, with targeted support for sensitive topics such as Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) and substance use.
