This profile is intended to provide summary information on the health of the local population, to inform residents and support decision making. For more information on the health indicators found in this report, please see Hackney’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment – www.hackney.gov.uk/jsna More general Ward level information can be found on the council’s Shared Evidence Base website.1 There is also more information on Public Health England’s Local Health website,2 and the GLA also produces Ward level information.3 Notes on the data: Data sources: Much of the data come from local health services, including GP data extracted from EMIS via the Clinical Effectiveness Group at Queen Mary University. These data relate to diagnosed or recorded conditions so will not include undetected illness. In April 2015, geographically coded data were unavailable from 2 practices using a different IT system (the Dalston Practice in Hackney Central, and the Abney House Practice in Stoke Newington) – this makes the data for these areas somewhat less reliable, and will be improved in future versions of these profiles.

    Haggerston School Weekly Bulletin Highlight of the Week For our latest news and stories, please follow us on: https://www.facebook.com/HaggerstonSchoolHackney/ https://twitter.com/haggerstonsch Maths Student of the Week…. Year 8: Shilah Morgan-Hardware Has worked incredibly hard and has done exceptionally well in her homework this week Dear Parents/Carers As we enter another lockdown it becomes even more important that our young people are vigilant both at school and on their journeys. Students should not be mixing with other year groups outside of their household or loitering before and after school. They should be making their way directly to school and home afterwards. This week there has been a case in the press about an alleged sexual assault of a teenager, in South London, at 7am on Tuesday morning. This places even greater emphasis on the need for young people to make their way directly to and from school. We will be reiterating this point to our students next week so that they understand that this is necessary, both to comply with the lockdown regulations, but also as a means of keeping themselves safe. Every afternoon senior staff patrol the local area to ensure that students are making their way straight home. Given recent events, we will also be introducing a morning patrol each day. I understand that this is a very challenging time for everyone and I want to reassure you that the health and well-being of our students is paramount. We have taken time this year to think about adapting our character days to respond to the current climate that we live in, so that further support is available to our students.
