Who we are:
Kent Safe Schools is a countywide initiative which develops and delivers services to children and young people aged between 5 and 19, to promote emotional health and wellbeing, develop resilience and encourage positive relationships within school and the wider community.
We have over 50 members of staff, the majority of whom are working directly with children and young people delivering services in schools, settings and community projects.

The 2010 Safe at School Survey is now open for online completion. Last year over 8,400 children and young people across Kent took part in the survey, which is free to complete for all children, young people and parents and carers across Kent.
There are separate surveys for primary, secondary children, and parents and carers which can be completed online and an infant survey which can be downloaded, completed and returned via email to samantha.sheppard@kent.gov.uk . Should you have any questions about the survey, or the Anti-Bullying Accreditation Scheme please contact Kent Safe Schools on 01227 284410.
