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.
