Sally Scott has been sworn in as the new High Sheriff of Oxfordshire, taking up the role from Mark Beard. During her Shrieval year, Sally’s focus will be on raising awareness of the underlying causes of crime and to support initiatives that help address them. She will also be supporting Oxfordshire Community Foundation in the launch of its Oxfordshire Uncovered report which aims to highlight the issues facing the most vulnerable people in our county and how OCF and the charities it supports are addressing these needs.
