Welcome to the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership website
The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership was set up in 2002 to bring together
local public organisations such as the Council, the Police and NHS Kensington and Chelsea, to work
alongside the voluntary sector, business and community groups.
It aims to join-up services within the borough, plan locally for the
long-term, and improve quality of life in the borough, especially in more deprived neighbourhoods.
A new Community Strategy for Kensington and Chelsea
A new Community Strategy for Kensington and Chelsea has now been published by the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership. 'The Future of Our Community, Community Strategy 2008 – 2018' is a collaborative effort on behalf of the Council, the Police, the Fire Service, NHS Kensington and Chelsea, voluntary organisations and the local business community. You may be familiar with the previous Community Strategy which was published in 2005. The new strategy contains updated ambitions, aims and objectives and highlights new projects and policy developments that have emerged since 2005, underpinned by extensive public consultation.
A Picture of Our Community
As before, the strategy is also accompanied by ‘A Picture of Our Community – Facts and Figures about the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 2008’ which presents a range of the latest and key information, statistical analysis and indicators to provide a comprehensive picture of the Royal Borough and the people who live in, work in and visit the borough.

Delivering for Our Community
The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership has produced a delivery plan for the newly published Community Strategy. The plan – 'Delivering for Our Community' – contains a set of performance measures to show progress against the aims and objectives within the Community Strategy, and sets targets for achievement in the future. 'Delivering for Our Community' is also known as the full new Local Area Agreement for Kensington and Chelsea and therefore contains a set of targets negotiated with Government, called ‘designated’ Local Area Agreement targets (these are shown with a * on the 'Delivering for Our Community' document).
'Delivering for Our Community' will be updated regularly to take account of new performance data and information as this becomes available. The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership will also publish a progress report showing how well the Partnership is meeting the performance targets in the plan, on an annual basis.
'Delivering for Our Community' is the second full Local Area Agreement for Kensington and Chelsea.
Indices of Deprivation 2007
The Indices of Deprivation 2007 (ID 2007) consist of three separate but related indices developed to identify areas where disadvantage is concentrated.
The Indices are constructed by the Social Disadvantage Research Centre at the University of Oxford for the Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG).
The indices use statistical techniques to combine information on economic, social and physical issues to produce scores for small areas across the whole of England. These scores are then used to rank these small areas according to their relative level of deprivation.
