About Us

Established in September 2002 as an e-Government partnership, Kent Connects is funded by its partner authorities and other sources such as Interreg. It has grown into a nationally recognised successful multi-agency partnership, with strong governance and a fully integrated office.

With a membership comprised of all the Kent and Medway authorities, Kent Police, and Kent Fire & Rescue Service, Kent Connects is a powerful county wide alliance of public service providers. Our role is to remove the barriers that hinder the joining up and sharing of our public services. Our vision is to lead this transformation through the application of leading edge technology.

With IT as the backbone to most public service functions, technology is recognised as one of the keys to successful and efficient services. Kent Connects has already invested in a single, county wide IT infrastructure (both technology and people) to enable our partners to join up and share their service delivery mechanisms in a secure, robust and cost effective environment.
