The Thanet Basic Skills Partnership (TBSP) 'Back to Basics' project developed a strategy to "improve the basic skills achievement of children and adults in Thanet by increasing the quality, coherence and sustainability of provision through an innovative, community based, multi-agency approach".Short courses such as Family Literacy, Personal Development, and Story Sacks have been delivered in community venues thanks to a successful working partnership including the project management team, Sure Start, Adult Education and Thanet Community College.The project has provided invaluable crèche facilities for participating parents, which are a muchheralded success-factor of the project due to limited childcare provision in the Thanet region.
