SCOTLAND’S NATIONAL CHILDREN’S CHARITY

Children 1st is Scotland’s National Children’s Charity. Some children have little to smile about. We’re determined to give them reasons to. We help Scotland’s families to put children first, with practical advice and with support in difficult times. And when the worst happens, we support survivors of abuse, neglect, and other traumatic events in childhood, to recover.

If you are concerned about a child or would like advice and support about parenting, contact ParentLine Scotland on 08000 28 22 33 or at: parentlinescotland@children1st.org.uk
