To support the roll out of Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs, the National Children’s Bureau (NCB) are seeking expressions of interest from the sector to sit on a Stronger Practice Hubs Advisory Group.

The Stronger Practice Hub Advisory Group will work with NCB, the Department for Education (DfE) and the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) to ultimately ensure the delivery of high-quality hubs, supporting strategically through advice, sector expertise and insight, constructive scrutiny and support.

NCB are currently inviting expressions of interest from those with early years expertise to join the advisory group. NCB anticipates the group to represent:

  • the PVI sector
  • the maintained sector
  • childminding
  • organisations specialising in Early Years pedagogy
  • organisations providing Covid recovery programmes
  • specialists in supporting families with additional needs
  • other relevant national organisations representing the sector

If you are interested in being part of the advisory group please see this letter, providing more detail, and complete the accompanying form, returning it to sph@ncb.org.uk  by noon on Wednesday 28 September.
