NCB

NCB promotes the voices, interests and well-being of all children and young people across every aspect of their lives.

As an umbrella body for the children’s sector in England and Northern Ireland, we provide essential information on policy, research and best practice for our members and other partners.

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.
  

NCB has expertise in all issues affecting today’s children and young people. Through our membership network and strong partnerships in government, academia and the children’s sector, we play a vital role in maintaining a policy environment that is open to innovation and new ways of working. As part of NCB's clear commitment to partnership working across the sector, we also host a number of independent organisations that focus on a single issue or a single client group (Council for Disabled Children, Children’s Play Council).

NCB has adopted and works within the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
