Warning

decorative imagedecorative imageEvery child in Scotland has the right to be kept safe from abuse, neglect, exploitation and any other kind of harm that puts them at risk. If you’re concerned about a child, it’s better to say something than do nothing – it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect children from harm. Child Protection Scotland has a Where to get help section. Or you can contact Childline.

If you think a child might be in immediate danger you should always contact the police right away by calling 999.
