Our aim is to protect and enhance the lives of the children of Reading. We help families find long-term solutions to ensure children lead happy, healthy and successful lives.

Brighter Futures for Children is the name of Reading children’s services and is part of Reading Borough Council.

We work closely with other departments within the council and also with partners and key organisations in the local community including police, public health and voluntary groups.

We are responsible for the delivery of children’s social care, early help & prevention, education services (including SEND). This also includes fostering and adoption, the Youth Justice Service and traded services with schools.
