The current contract runs until 31 March 2020.
The announcement was made by the NCB’s chief executive Anna Feuchtwang in the Foundation Years newsletter, who said, ‘I am delighted that the National Children's Bureau is now Department for Education’s (DfE) Stakeholder Engagement Partner for the Early Years because we know these early years are the foundation on which children’s future life chances are built.’
The DfE said that NCB were appointed following a fair and open competitive process and would work in partnership with the department to provide effective stakeholder engagement including maintaining links between the sector and wider government agenda.
This includes management and maintenance of the Foundation Years website, which is funded by the DfE Early Years VCS programme to support the early years workforce.
