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