The Vision for Kent’s ‘To Tackle Disadvantage’ Ambition is:
Everyone in Kent has the potential to lead a happy and fulfilled life. All people in Kent, regardless of where they live or their own personal circumstances, will have the confidence and opportunities they need to create a positive life for themselves, their families and their communities. We will work to understand and break down the barriers that can stop this from happening for some people – like unemployment, fear of crime and anti-social behaviour, poor housing, poor health and more. People in Kent will feel secure, positive and optimistic about their futures, and work towards achieving their goals, with minimal dependence on support from services.
