Sir Paul Ennals to stand down as NCB chief executive

Sir Paul Ennals is to quit his role as chief executive of the National Children's Bureau after 13 years in post, triggering a hunt for his successor.

Ennals told CYP Now that his exit has been "long-planned", saying: "I was persuaded to stay on to see us through a change of government." He plans to remain at NCB until the autumn, by which time the charity hopes to have his successor in place.

In a statement issued by NCB, Ennals said: "Leading NCB has been the greatest job of my career so far; an immense privilege and endlessly fascinating. However, every organisation benefits from new leadership from time to time, and NCB is very well positioned to continue its highly influential work to improve the lives of children and young people, and to support the sector as a whole. I will remain in post until a suitable successor is ready to join.
