Faculty

The Tizard Centre is one of the leading UK academic groups working in learning disability and community care. Members of the Centre are selected both for their academic record and for their practical experience in services. The Centre provides short courses and degree and diploma programmes at the University of Kent, taught at both the Canterbury and Medway campuses, and also undertakes an extensive programme of consultancy and research - both nationally and internationally. The primary aims of the Tizard Centre are:

  • to advance knowledge about the relationship between the organisation of community care services and their outcomes, and

  • to help service agencies (both purchasers and providers) develop their own competence to provide and sustain high quality, comprehensive community care services

The Tizard Centre is part of the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
