The National Children's Bureau (NCB) was launched in October 1963 as the National Bureau for Co-operation in Childcare. Over the past 40 years, it has provided a vital forum and information service for childcare professionals and produced pioneering research on all aspects of children's lives. The NCB continues to play a leading role in shaping legislation that affects children and young people and all those who work with them. To mark the occasion of its 40th anniversary this year, the NCB is collecting childhood memories from people of all ages and backgrounds. The aim is to celebrate childhood in all its diversity and to show how the experience of being a child has changed over the past four decades. The collection will be published later this year.
