Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) for Children in Kent 2011: Health, Wellbeing and Healthy Public Policy

Within the changing environment of children's services and public health, the place of the strategic needs assessment is clear.  The public health White Paper, 'Healthy Lives, Healthy People' (2010), and the National Service Framework for Children, are concerned with standards of care in order that children's services are fit for purpose. This strategic needs assessment is required in order to identify issues requiring future investment grounded upon the identification of local issues.   It should also identify other change issues necessary to advance improvements in the health and welfare of children and young people.

The 2011 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is published by the Kent and Medway Public Health Observatory.
