• Vision For Kent
  
  The Vision was developed through wide consultation between Districts and Parish Councils, the County Council, Medway Unitary Authority, key agencies - Health Authorities, Kent Fire Brigade, Kent County Constabulary, the Learning and Skill Council - and representatives of business, voluntary and community partners in Kent.
  
  The Kent Partnership is the body that oversees the translation of the Vision for Kent into action.
  
  
• Kent Agreement (PSA)
  
  KCC was in the pilot of 6 authorities which signed their Public Service Agreements (PSA) with Ministers on 5 February 2001.
  
  The PSA is a suite of local and national targets which all support each other and contribute to an overall aim of Reducing dependency - increasing employment and fulfilment.
  
  The Kent Agreement is about achievable outcomes and a move to preventative programmes that draw in finance and freedom from regulation and prescription. It involves our partners in working together for Kent with a noble goal of reducing and recycling benefit spend and raising personal fulfilment.
  
  
• Supporting Independence Briefing
  
  Closely aligned to the Kent Agreement is the Supporting Independence Programme. Changing people's lives by moving them from dependency to independence is a goal that can only be fully achieved with the continuing support of all those organizations that play a part in making up the social fabric of our county.
