About Childline
Sometimes you can sort out a problem on your
own. But if you have a worry you can't cope with,
don't bottle it up. It can really help if you
talk to someone – a family member, a carer,
one of your friends or maybe a teacher. And you
can call ChildLine’s helpline on 0800
1111 at any time.
When you phone ChildLine you will be able to
talk to a counsellor – someone who will
listen to you and help you find ways of sorting
out your problems. If you want, the counsellor
can put you in touch with other people or organisations
that can help you.
ChildLine is confidential, which means that
whatever you say is just between you and ChildLine,
unless you want us to talk to somebody for you
or you are in danger. You don’t have to
give your name and your call won’t show
up on the phone bill.
ChildLine is free, even from a mobile phone.
You can call about any problem – however
big or small – at any time of day or night.
