Hackney Council is redesigning young people's health services, with Public Health leading a shift towards empowering schools to deliver Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education. This initiative, reported in December 2025, involves reviewing services commissioned from Young Hackney and building school capacity for PSHE, including targeted support for sensitive topics like Relationship and Sex Education and substance use.
The Healthy Schools Community Network, a borough-wide project co-chaired by Hackney Education, Public Health, and Young Hackney, aims to support schools in their delivery of statutory and supplementary provision. This redesign by Hackney Council seeks to streamline services and address variability in young people's experiences.
