Fostering in Oxfordshire

Fostering is about providing stability, positivity, and reassurance when a child needs it most. It’s not easy – because many of the children need a lot of support. But we’ve got it covered. With Oxfordshire County Council, foster carers get all the training they need, plus fair pay and so much more besides.


  • They fit around you. Whether you are single, work full time or have kids – foster carers come in all shapes and sizes. So, Oxfordshire County Council want to make sure you get what you need, when you need it.


  • The county council service is not for profit. Unlike private fostering agencies, everything goes back to supporting you and the child you are caring for.


  • There is training for everything. From day one you’ll be learning so you’ll feel so much more prepared to adapt to the needs of different children.


  • You’ll keep Oxfordshire children local. They’ll do better if they stay near to family and friends so the county council do everything they can to keep children in the county.


  • Mentoring support is available 24/7 so you’ll never feel alone.
