Children's Services reforms
Hammersmith and Fulham's Youth Cabinet is actively shaping children's services reforms through co-production and youth engagement.
In October 2026, Hammersmith and Fulham's Youth Cabinet presented an update to the Full Council, detailing their role in shaping borough services and strategies.
