Our structure
As a membership and infrastructure support
agency, NCB hosts many single-issue or single client groups,
networks, fora, councils and partnership programmes, and provides
essential information on policy, research and best practice for the
whole sector. We reach, support and inform those working with and
on behalf of young people, and their families and carers, but also
through our young member’s scheme, Young NCB, children and young
people themselves.
NCB’s organisational structure is best explained by using the
“wheel” as shown in the diagram below. The adoption of the
principle of the wheel is reflected in our new branding. View the

The core of NCB consists of:
Surrounding the core are the specialist departments, which in turn
are surrounded by the many fora, councils and partnership
programmes that operate under our charitable status. These fall
into four categories:
- Well-Being – promoting the universal
health and well-being of all children and young people
- Social Inclusion – enhancing the life
chances of potentially marginalised or excluded children and young
people
- Play England – promoting acess to and
opportunity for, free, inclusive, local play
- Partnerships – which allow NCB to
work collaboratively on a wide range of issues affecting children
and young people
