Kent County Council has proposed axing hundreds of jobs as part of a move to transform services and deliver savings.

The cash-strapped local authority is considering over 180 redundancies plus a possible reduction of over 25 full-time equivalent posts.

The changes will impact the open access teams in the children, young people, and education directorate.

Youth services are also being reduced to accommodate the Government's family hubs.

The council estimates the reforms could help save £7m.

A Kent County Council (KCC) spokesperson said the local authority was currently consulting with the open access teams.

‘Re-shaping how, and where, we work in the face of rising costs and stretched budgets will help KCC save over £7m,’ they said.

‘But change is never easy. We know this is a difficult time for those involved and we are providing ongoing support to all our staff.’
