Survey of =
services
for young black people
Hackney Council is carrying out an extensive survey o=
f the
borough's services for young black people following the House of Com=
mons
Homes Affairs Committee (HAC) report into the disproportionate numbe=
r of
young black men and women represented in the criminal justice system=
.
Over the next month, all service providers working wi=
th
children and young people in the borough will be consulted including=
the
Council's Youth Service and Youth Offending Team and local schools,
colleges, health providers, faith groups, sports and community
organisations.
All services for all young people in Hackney are being
asked to fill out a brief questionnaire about the services they prov=
ide.
Due to the broad reach of the survey, some sections may not seem ent=
irely
relevant to education providers - however, you will find that there =
are
specific questions relating to schools and colleges (questions 19 to=
21),
which shows the importance of completing the survey to highlight your
work.
Please forward the link to any other service providers
working with your school.
