Over the last few years, the country has experienced a decline in the number of people putting themselves forward to foster, whilst the need for new foster carers increases. This is a growing issue for local authorities, who incur large costs placing children with Independent fostering agencies whilst not always getting the best service. Having more in-house carers would not only save the service money, but enable funds to be redirected into better support for our children...

We Asked, You Said, We Did
Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
We asked
We asked you to tell us what you thought of adult advocacy services in Hackney. We wanted to know what worked well, what didn't and what we could do to improve things.
You said
You told us that there were a number of areas for improvement. We have taken your feedback on board and will be procuring a new service that better meets the needs of residents who use advocacy services, especially our vulnerable residents. You can see the full report here: Advocacy Services report
Some of the things you told us were:
- Advocacy should be accessible and culturally appropriate.
- Advocacy should challenge (systemic) inequalities and support the borough’s most vulnerable residents.
- Increase the amount of advocates for patients to see as this is too important.
We did
In response to what you told us:
- We have worked hard to ensure that we offer a service that meets the needs of those who require the service and reflective of Hackney’s population. This contract will widen the scope of deliver with training and development both for community organisations and communities to be able to deliver advocacy in a way which is fully accessible and appropriate
- We agree and will ensure effective data capture, identify trends and gaps in delivery and act on them. We will also train communities and develop the offer for underserved residents to ensure we maximise support
-
We are looking at training more people from the local communities as advocates to help increase advocate numbers. There will also be opportunities for communities to participate in alternative forms of advocacy.
We asked
We asked for your feedback on Hackney’s draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2022-26 which will set out the borough’s health and wellbeing priorities over the next four years.
You said
In total, 229 respondents took part in the survey. Overall, the majority of respondents stated that they agree with the suggested actions for each of the three priorities, improving mental health, increasing social connection and supporting greater financial security.
We did
As a result of the consultation we are developing an action plan using your responses to the priority actions, suggestions for additional actions and suggestions for who the Health and Wellbeing Board should work with on these actions.

We asked
We asked you for feedback on our design proposals to improve the stream play area and the southern play area adjacent to Cowper Road in Butterfield Green.
You said
37 local children, young people and families fed into the design process, helping to shape a set of designs to take out to public consultation. A further 100 people fed back on the design proposals, which included improvements to the stream area, installing new equipment and making the landscape more playable.
We did
As a result of the consultation we have made a number of design changes including providing additional swings and monkey bars in the southern play area.
Work is planned to begin on building the play areas autumn 2022.
