Last month, NCB was busy clerking meetings for the All Party Parliamentary Group for Children (APPGC).
The purpose of the APPGC is to promote first-class policy and raise the profile of children's issues in parliament.
This year's theme is Children and Recession and the group met to discuss the Early Intervention Review with speaker Graham Allen MP; the Education Bill with speaker Lord Hill - under-secretary of state for schools; and children's wellbeing with speakers Enver Solomon and Larissa Pople from the Children's Society and Dr Sam Thompson from the New Economics Foundation.
Future meetings will continue with this year's Children and Recession theme.
