About Us
Join Oxfordshire County County Council on an exciting journey towards Delivering the Future Together, our ambitious transformation programme which will enable us to be an employer, partner, and place shaper of choice. We’re seeking the right people who can help us embrace our value of ‘daring to do it differently’, striving to do better.
In our Children, Education, & Families Directorate, we aim for every child to receive the best possible education. With this goal, we’re improving and transforming our services, currently focusing on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
We’re proud of the progress made in SEND services, with Ofsted and Care Quality Commission (CQC) reporting that Oxfordshire’s local area partnership has taken "effective action" to accelerate service improvements. This follows a monitoring visit in September 2025, ensuring better support for children and young people with SEND.
As a financially stable local authority, Oxfordshire County Council is committed to investing in Children, Education, and Families. Together, we’ll ensure we have the resources needed to make a real difference.
