From NCERCC to NCBRCC

This news item was first posted on the www.goodenoughcaring.com website during July, 2010

Jonathan Stanley informs us that the National Children's Bureau has announced that it will be continuing its long-standing work supporting the residential child care sector to improve the expedriences and outcomes for children in their care, with a new service called NCB Residential Child Care (NCBRCC). Jonathan will kead the new service.
The former title ‘National Centre for Excellence in Residential Child Care’ may return in the future but to signal the difference in the service the title NCBRCC has been chosen.
The new service is in development and we are saddened to learn that the reduced funding has led to a loss of staffing and so NCBRCC it cannot yet do all that NCERCC was able to do. NCB has made the commitment to support development. However the range of NCBRCC services is directly linked to the funding it can attract. It is being funded entirely by the work it undertakes. NCBRCC is now able to undertake training, commissions, contracts, consultancies and project work. This work will be undertaken by Jonathan Stanley along with the comprehensive list of Associates developed during the time of NCERCC. We hope that the new service will develop, and eventually build upon, the outstanding work of its predecessor. For more information go to :
