NCVCCO, National Council of Voluntary Child Care Organisations - http://www.ncvcco.org

About Us

NCVCCO is an umbrella organisation whose members are all registered charities that work with children, young people and their families. They range from very large national organisations to small local based charities. Between them they invest over £500 million in direct services. They work in different ways, in and across various disciplines, and with different groups of children, but they share the aim of improving the quality of life for children.

As an umbrella body our aim is, through maximising the voluntary child care and family support sector's contribution to the provision of services, to ensure the well-being and safety of children. We provide information as publications and briefings, consultations to members on child care and family issues and representation of members' views, to central, regional and local government.

NCVCCO undertakes a range of consultative activities for government departments and other agencies both with members and the wider voluntary child care and family support sector, as well as occasional publications, projects or action research.

NCVCCO is involved in various activities at Government level, or in association with other agencies. Regularly we are asked to represent the voluntary child care and family support sector on national advisory bodies. Where possible we do this directly or through a member organisation.
