Healthwatch Southwark highlights the key health and social care issues affecting Southwark residents, drawing on a wide range of sources including community feedback, surveys, local data, and national and regional priorities. It explains how they’ve used these insights to shape our work for 2024–26.
Their three main priorities for 2025–26 are:
Temporary accommodation and health – exploring how housing conditions and instability affect people’s health and access to care.
Children and young people’s mental health and social care experiences – focusing on early support, transitions to adult services, and the impact of social care.
Southwark Resource Centre (Disabilities Hub) – using their statutory powers to review services supporting vulnerable residents.
These priorities reflect the most pressing concerns raised by local people and align with wider strategies across Southwark and South East London.
