Kent County Council (KCC) is well known for
placing the citizens of Kent at the heart of all it does. From the
Gateways to Telehealth, from Kent TV to the Kent Card, there are
many examples of the ways in which the council has worked hard to
build its services around people.
The Social Innovation Lab for Kent (SILK) was set up in 2007
with two ambitions.
First, to provide a creative environment for a wide range of
staff to work together on some of the toughest challenges the
county faces.
And second, by drawing upon best practice from business, design
and social sciences sectors, as well as our own experiences here in
Kent, SILK set out to establish a way of working that places it's
citizens at the very centre.
