Overview of the needs assessments
For an overview of the needs assessments, including when they are published and how they are used, please see below:
Children and Young People's needs assessment
Current legislation requires the local authority with its partners to conduct a needs assessment and to develop a child poverty strategy. The Hackney Children and Young People's Needs Assessment is the evidence base for everything we do with respect to children, young people and families. It has also informed our recent cross-cutting review of child poverty and family wellbeing. For more information, please visit the Children and Young People's needs assessment page.
Community Safety
The Community Safety and Strategic Assessment identifies five areas of focus for community safety in Hackney up until 2013. We are required to publish a summary of our Partnership Plan, which provides an overview of the findings of the Assessment, together with a plan of how we plan to approach the five areas of focus. The new Partnership Plan will be published here at the beginning of October 2011. If you require information on Community Safety in Hackney in the interim, please visit our action plan for crime page.
City and Hackney Health and Wellbeing Profile
The City and Hackney Health and Wellbeing Profile (known as the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment, or "JSNA") provides a detailed description of the health and wellbeing needs of the local population. The JSNA is used to improve the way the Council and the NHS commission and deliver services for local people. For more information please visit the City and Hackney Health and Wellbeing Profile page.
Housing Needs
The Housing Needs Assessment (PDF) concentrates on the need for affordable housing in the borough and the supply and demand for housing across all tenures and characteristics of the local housing market.
Local Economic Assessment
The Local Economic Assessment is a statutory requirement to produce a current picture of Hackney's economy and an evidence base for considerations of where policy interventions can be most effective. Please see the Local Economic Assessment page.
Cross cutting policy reviews
From time to time the Council working with its partners in Team Hackney runs policy reviews, to help us devise more effective approaches to the big, complex, cross-cutting issues facing the local area and help support us all to make better progress towards achieving our shared vision set out in the Sustainable Community Strategy. There are currently three cross cutting reviews in this policy cycle:
