About Ofsteds fostering data collection

Each year Ofsted asks local authority fostering services and independent fostering agencies for data about their fostering services. This is the only national data collection that provides an overview of the fostering landscape.

We ask all 152 local authority fostering agencies and around 300 independent fostering agencies (IFAs) to provide data on:

  • characteristics of foster carers
  • terms of approval of fostering households
  • capacity and the use of fostering places
  • recruitment and retention of fostering households
  • data on complaints and allegations

This provides a unique insight into a sector that affects the majority of children in care.
