In February 2024, we were delighted to become the newest member of the the National Children’s Bureau (NCB) family. The move pools our capability and resource in systems-change methodology, research and evidence generation, and high-quality professional development to create a truly unique offer for our many partners and stakeholders.
Research in Practice Director Dez Holmes and NCB Chief Executive Officer Anna Feuchtwang said:
'Our annual report comes at a moment of change for the whole country – and no doubt for the sector. We are hopeful for what the future holds and welcome the government’s commitment to children and young people, families, adults and communities. It has been an extremely busy year as we continue to deliver high-quality and evidence-informed learning resources and opportunities to our vibrant network of Partners. This has included bringing together experts from practice, academia and lived experience to create extensive learning resources [..] As you will hopefully know by now, Research in Practice joined the National Children's Bureau (NCB) family. We are excited about how much more we can achieve together.’
