The National Children's Bureau (NCB) is an English children's charity based in Islington, London. It was founded in 1963, as the National Bureau for Cooperation in Child Care.
It is an umbrella organisation incorporating councils and fora that explore a range of issues involving children and young people in England. It contributes to the 4 Nations Child Policy Network, in partnership with Children in Scotland, Children in Wales and Children in Northern Ireland.
Dr Hilary Emery joined NCB as it's new Chief Executive in August 2011, prior to that Paul Ennals had been NCB's Chief Executive since 1998. Baroness Shireen Ritchie has been President of NCB since November 2010. [1]
