Policy, Research & Information

NCB’s vision is a society in which all children and young people are valued, their rights respected and their responsibilities enhanced. We work from an evidence-informed perspective which is why our research work is so important, especially when influencing policy or promoting the voices of children and young people.  

The research, policy and participation division also encompasses our work in Northern Ireland which is particularly focused on undertaking new research and promoting the voices of children and young people through participation work.

Reducing inequalities in childhood, ensuring children and young people have a strong voice in all matters that affect their lives, promoting positive images, enhancing health and well-being, and encouraging positive and supportive family environments is at the heart of NCB’s research, policy and participation work.
