What is a consultation?
You may have heard Kent County Council is proposing to remove the funding it provides to Seashells, to deliver many of our family services. This means we have entered a 'consultation period' until the 22nd September. A consultation is a review where the public can have their say on a decision that KCC proposes to make. KCC will listen and discuss the views shared, and then KCC members/committees will decide the outcome based on the information they have obtained.
During this consultation period, we would appreciate your support, in sharing your stories of Seashells. To find out more on what the Consultation means for our services, and have your voice heard please pop along for a chat, email info@[email protected],
message us on facebook, or call 01795 889233.
We would love to hear from you all!
