National Helplines
Free helpline for children and young people
Children and young people can speak to ChildLine (0800 1111) confidentially and without fear of judgment. In Scotland, the ChildLine service is delivered by CHILDREN 1ST on behalf of the NSPCC. All funds raised for ChildLine in Scotland are raised by the NSPCC.
Free helpline for parents and carers
We believe that all families should be able to access support before things reach crisis point. Our free helpline ParentLine Scotland (0808 800 2222) is an invaluable resource for parents who tell us that being able to talk to someone and get things off their chest makes them feel better and more able to cope.
ParentLine also hosts the free Bluebell helpline (0800 3457 457) for sufferers of postnatal depression in partnership with CrossReach, the social care arm of the Church of Scotland.
