Children & Young People Now 

Free to NCB members, Children & Young People Now is the only weekly magazine dedicated to the children’s services sector in Britain.

We write and edit our own double page feature every week, NCB Now, which offers informed comment, news, analysis and features for professionals working with children, young people and their families.

The title has a nationwide circulation to 18,000 professionals working in children's services across public and not-for-profit bodies, including managers and senior practitioners in education, social services, family support, primary healthcare, Sure Start, and children’s trusts.

Children & Young People Now, originated from NCB’s member newsletter, Children Now, and is now published weekly by Haymarket Publishing in partnership with NCB and the National Youth Agency. It is edited by Ravi Chandiramani, who heads an editorial team of nine.

If you're a member of NCB, you can enjoy a free annual subscription to Children Now (worth £85).
