Member News from Community Foster Care: Exceeding the Standards of Good’ - CFC’s Outstanding Ofsted Rating

We’ve had some news recently at CFC that we are so excited to share with you all! After our most recent assessment from Ofsted, we’re proud to announce that Community Foster Care has been officially confirmed as OUTSTANDING provider of support for our carers and young people (read the full report here)! 

We’re unbelievably filled with not only pride, but also appreciation as we look back on the journey we’ve been on as an organisation to get to such a momentous point.

The aim was to support communities, provide local foster families for local children, working in areas of economic deprivation providing employment and improving skills.

And we are still operating in this way over two decades later!
