Hackney Thinking Spaces

Tender description

Introduction: The London Borough of Hackney is commissioning a new pilot project, the ‘Hackney Thinking Spaces’. This project will be led by the Children, Young People, Maternity and Families Integrated Commissioning Workstream, sitting under London Borough of Hackney’s Children and Education Directorate and supported by LBH Public Health directorate in a joint offer over a period of 18 months. Hackney is currently consulting and engaging on a draft anti-racism action plan. The action plan recognises that we need to make sure everyone in the system is starting from the same understanding of what racism is and what anti-racism is. This way, we can make sure that we are progressing the right actions. We need to work closely with residents and partners to understand their experience of racism and develop the right solutions. Thinking Spaces will make a key contribution, by providing a therapeutically framed way of collaborating with residents on solutions, which ultimately drive systems change.
