Principles met

Two new roles and an approach to tackling poverty and inequalities, built on the learnings from the Covid-19 pandemic of the need to work differently with council colleagues, health and community partners.

In September 2022, Hackney Council hired two ‘System Conveners,’ roles that were the first of their kind in the council. They came on the heels of the Council’s Poverty Reduction Framework that outlined as a priority the need to work differently to respond to the material needs of poverty and act preventatively.

During the pandemic Hackney, like many other councils, worked together with community and health partners in new ways to support residents most impacted by the pandemic. The System Conveners roles have been a way to acknowledge that learning and create roles specifically designed to continue working in a connected way.

The System Conveners’ First Steps

The initial brief to the two System Conveners was to ‘get out there’– be in the community meeting with organisations and council colleagues.
