Help for families

Children 1st  supports children and families across Scotland in their homes, schools, local communities and through our five national services.

Children 1st Parentline is here to help any family in Scotland who is worried about their child. You can speak to Children 1st Parentline on the phone or online, or take a look at our advice pages for guidance about the issues families ring us about.

Children 1st Parentline can also put you in touch with our Money Wellbeing Team, who can offer you support, if you are struggling with money worries.

We also work with families in their local communities to help them keep their children safe, loved and well. We can offer families a range of support based on their individual needs. This might include through kitbag, creative kin and family group decision making.
