National Children's Bureau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Children's Bureau (NCB) is a children's charity based in Islington, London. It is an umbrella organisation incorporating councils and fora that explore a range of issues involving children and young people. It was founded in 1963 (as the National Bureau for Cooperation in Child Care), and since 1998 its Chief Executive has been Paul Ennals. Estelle Morris has been President of NCB since September 2005.

NCB aims to:

  • challenge disadvantage in childhood
  • work with children and young people to ensure they are involved in all matters that affect their lives
  • promote multidisciplinary cross-agency partnerships and good practice
  • influence government policy through policy development and advocacy
  • undertake high quality research and work from an evidence-based perspective
  • disseminate information to all those working with children and young people, and to children and young people themselves

Children & Society and Children Now are a journal and a magazine published in association with the NCB.

NCB supports over two dozen websites, including sites run by councils and networks within NCB and others run on a partnership or consortium basis.
