We know that the lives of the people we serve do not neatly cut off at 18 or 25 – so we don’t put this box around ourselves either.
No one who works with children can afford to ignore the adults in their lives – the parents, carers, wider families and of course professionals they rely on for a good childhood.
Looking at support for adults can give us a richer perspective on how to support transitions for young people, support families and communities, and ultimately improve outcomes for children and young people.
Although NCB is fundamentally an organisation focused on children and young people, we have always done important work with parents, professionals and other adults. The addition of Research in Practice to our family brings further specialist expertise in areas such as transitions, integrated working, working with families and much more. By using our expertise to further reach, support and improve the welfare of adults, parents, carers, families and communities, this can directly impact the lives of children and young people.
