CHILD SAFETY: Children can’t protect themselves, and they need our help to stay safe

Responding to recent media stories, Mary Glasgow, pictured right, Chief Executive of Children First, Scotland’s national children’s charity, said: If recent news coverage has left you concerned about a child or young person, or brought up experiences that don’t feel right, it’s important to speak up.

Children can’t protect themselves, and they need our help to stay safe. You don’t have to face your worries alone. Our support line can offer support and advice to help you work through what’s best for the child.

“If you are worried, call our support line team on 08000 28 22 33; we’re open 9 am – 9 pm Monday to Friday and 9 am to 12 noon, every day of the year. Or visit www.childrenfirst.org.uk/supportline. “
