Gap Busters

The workshop took place twice and was a great success both days. The Ashford Gap Busters workshops were aimed at everyone who works with children and young people in the Ashford district especially those delivering frontline services to improve outcomes for children and their families. The aim of the Gap Buster project was to further develop the integrated working and multi agency approach of the Ashford Partnerships to focus on narrowing the gap in achievement between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers.
