OXON: Twenty-six children have been placed in residential care outside the county, it has emerged.
Children’s Minister Tim Loughton has announced reforms to improve protection of youngsters in children’s homes, following a report revealing sex offenders were targeting children in care homes.
The council said that out of 450 children in care, 42 were in residential care, including 26 outside the county.
