In Islington, the council is focused on the following objectives for the borough. 
  • Hate crimes: Reduce the rate of hate crimes and empowering victims of hate crimes to feel able to report it and receive justice when they do.
  • Employment: Increase the proportion of disabled people in employment, by supporting people with long term health conditions, mental health problems, and other disabled people into work.
  • Social Isolation: Reduce social isolation for younger disabled adults with a physical impairment. 
  • Workforce: Work towards a senior level workforce that is generally representative of the council workforce as a whole. 
If you're working on something that fits into any of these areas in Islington, we want to support you.
