NCB
Young
NCB is the free membership network open to all children and young people
run by the National Children’s Bureau. NCB promotes the participation of
children and young people in all matters affecting them and Young NCB is
one way in which NCB works with children and young people to make sure
their views really count.
As
Young NCB members, children and young people can be actively involved in
issues that affect and interest them including:
- Safety
and non-violence
- Schools
- Drugs
- Sex
and relationships education
- Media
- Children’s
rights
We
encourage Young NCB members to speak out and ensure their opinions and
views are heard by other children and young people, professionals and
policy makers.
Young
NCB activities include:
Even
when it’s not possible for members to be at events or activities in
person, www.youngncb.org.uk,
the Young NCB website, means everyone can participate
wherever they are. The website has news on all Young NCB
activities; Your Shout! – a bulletin board where young people can
initiate discussion and comment on issues that matter to them; a diary of
events; and features on key issues of interest to young people.
Loudspeaker,
the termly magazine, has also been launched. A combination of news, views,
opinions, information, ideas and requests, the newsletter will be produced
specially for Young NCB members. Other chances to speak out come through
members’ involvement in NCB projects and consultations, and the Young
People’s Advisory Group which meets to advise, guide and plan Young NCB
work and is developing its contribution to the work of NCB in general.
Young
NCB gives children and young people the chance to meet new people, make
new friends, develop new ideas and make a difference.
