Consultation Calendar

Kent County Council Families and Social Care has produced this Partnership Strategy for Learning Disability in Kent. The vision is to help adults with learning disabilities live their lives in the way they choose

The new proposed policy for Gypsy and Traveller Pitch Allocation has been drafted to be as similar as possible to that used to allocate social housing, and is also designed to reduce the risk of applicants challenging - through the law - decisions not to offer them specific pitches. It will allow applicants, and those supporting them, to detail their circumstances and their needs, and help KCC to meet their accommodation needs with the most appropriate pitch offer. Under the new system, applicants will have a clear understanding of what happens when a pitch becomes vacant. It sets out the points that will be allocated for an applicant's circumstances and needs.

The county council wants to make sure there are sufficient, high quality places available to children and young people in Kent by expanding good quality schools, securing investment in new ones and providing additional places in the areas where there is growth in numbers. To help get an idea of what is required in the next few years, a wealth of data, provided by district councils, health service and others, has been sifted through. Known as the Commissioning Plan for Education Provision 2012-17, a draft has been published this week to give everyone the opportunity to pore over the estimates and give their views on the draft plan.
