The Partner
Listening to and consulting with children and young people is at the heart of the Kent Safe Schools mission. They run projects which allow children and young people in Kent to get involved with, and positively contribute to, their schools and communities. Kent Safe Schools is part of the Children, Families and Education Directorate of Kent County Council.
The challenge
"We are delighted to be working with Canterbury Christ Church on a project of strategic importance which will lead to the delivery of better services for children and young people in Kent"
Sue Mullin,
Business Development Manager for Kent Safe Schools
Kent Safe Schools came to us for support in developing evaluation models and service improvements to enable timely and cost effective interventions to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of vulnerable children and young people in Kent.
How we are helping
Kent Safe Schools have entered into a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with us. Over the next two years a high calibre graduate will be working with them to develop a new way of delivering and evaluating their projects. They will also benefit from the expertise of University academics who will play a mentoring role along the way. Specialists from the Faculty of Education in particular will be offering their technical expertise in areas such as research and analysis.
