Children First Support Line

Today’s generation are facing unprecedented challenges. From mental health, money worries and online harm, to struggles at school, our support line can offer emotional, practical and financial support to any family in Scotland.

There is no such thing as a perfect family and whatever challenges you are facing, we can help, and we won’t judge.

If you live in Scotland call 08000 28 22 33 free, browse our website for advice and support, or start a webchat.

You can talk to us seven days a week Mon-Fri, 9am to 9pm Sat-Sun, 9am to noon

We all need to look out for children who may be at risk or experiencing abuse or neglect. Children can’t protect themselves and they need our help to stay safe. If you have concerns about a child’s wellbeing it can be difficult to know what to do. Our support line will listen and help you work through what’s best for the child.

If you think a child is in immediate danger, you should contact the police by ringing 999.

Our priority is to protect children and help families get the support they need.

We’re here for all Scotland’s children, and we’re here for you.
