Welcome to the Kent Children’s Trust (KCT) Planning Toolkit!
The KCT Planning Toolkit has been designed to support all parts of the commissioning cycle from Needs Assessment and analysis through to evaluation. It includes Local Children’s Services Partnership (LCSP) population profiles and maps, county and local indicators, Children & Young People of Kent survey results, and children & young people’s workforce estimates.
The content of the toolkit is updated monthly, to reflect the latest available data. Click here to view details of the latest updates.
We will continue to develop and improve the site in response to user comments. If you have any comments/suggestions please email rachel.kennard@kent.gov.uk.
This toolkit is a partnership resource, and in using the KCT Planning Toolkit you agree that you are accessing it to support the work of the Trust and/or its member organisations in its commissioning cycle* to improve outcomes for children, young people, and families in Kent.

The Planning Toolkit is being developed to support the Kent Children’s Trust, and its member organisations, with their commissioning and performance management arrangements.
* “Commissioning is the process for deciding how to use the total resource available for children, young people and parents in order to improve outcomes in the most efficient, effective, equitable and sustainable way.” (Commissioning Support Programme)
