If you are interested in getting involved in the Kent Healthy Schools Programme the first step is to contact your local co-ordinator. They will be able to help you decide the best initial approach.

Once you begin the main steps are:

Secure senior management team commitment
Establish a working group
Undertake a self review using the Kent Self-Review Audit Tool
Download the MS Word version of the above document to fill in electronically Kent Self-Review Audit Tool. To use this document, first save it by 'right' clicking on the document link. Select 'Save Target As..' and download to the destination of your choice.
Produce an Action Plan (as part of your overall School Improvement Plan) using the Action Plan Guidance & Templates
Send completed and signed copy of the Self-Review Audit and summary Action Plan to your Local Coordinator
Implement and monitor the plan
Identify evidence and good practice in relation to the four themes
Request validation when ready.

Validation will be either via self-validation or through a planned visit by a small team from the local programme. There will also be quality assurance visits to a number of schools from the National Healthy Schools Team.
