Kent Children's Trust
Children's trusts are central to government policy for improving
children's services. The policy, developed in Every Child Matters,
The
Children Act 2004 and the National Service Framework for
Children, Young People and Maternity Services, aims to improve
outcomes for all children by redesigning services and ensuring
partnership working.
Children's trusts bring together social care, health, police,
education, districts and other services. All local authorities
were expected to introduce a Children's Trust by 2008. The Kent
Children's Trust was established in September 2006. Children's
trusts will ensure joined-up approaches centred around the
child/young person's needs.
