Information Centre

The largest collection of resources about children and young people's issues in the UK.

NCB's Information Centre and Library has a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary collection of books, journals and grey literature on all aspects of children and young people's social care, health and education.

The collection contains over 30,000 publications and 250 British and international journal titles. Most of the resources in the collection are published in the UK but we do also have European and international material. We have a large statistical collection and aim to collect all government legislation relating to children and young people.

Our Journal Holdings List [PDF 349KB] provides information about the Information Centre's current and past journal and newspaper holdings.
