CHILDREN 1st
CHILDREN 1st
In 2007 over 2000 children were placed on the child protection register in Scotland. CHILDREN 1st runs over 40 services across Scotland where they support families under stress, protect children from harm and neglect, help them recover from abuse and promote children's rights and interests.
Throughout Scotland their staff and volunteers use their skills to help children overcome the difficulties in their lives and rebuild trust and confidence.
Their work with children and families informs and influences all their policy and campaigns. Not only do they try to influence legislation, they also campaign to change attitudes towards children and to help create a better world for all children.
Because they know being a parent isn't easy ParentLine Scotland is their free, confidential helpline for parents and carers. Talking through worries, problems and concerns can and does help. Call free on 0808 800 2222.
They rely on public support to fund their vital work. Please run for CHILDREN 1st and join them in helping the children who need them. For more information please click here.
