NCB's chief executive Paul Ennals has been appointed as interim chair of the Children, Young People and Families Workforce Council for England (CYPFWC).
Paul has previously chaired several national groups concerning children, including the review of Preschools and Playgroups, and the task group on children and young people for the Department of Health's Choosing Health? consultation.
"Workforce issues lie at the very heart of the improvements which the Children Bill is set to introduce," he said. "Changing services is not enough: we must also ensure that the range of people involved develop the skills and understanding to make those services child-centred.
"This is not a process which will happen overnight, but in the longer term the gains will be invaluable."
