NSPCC Helpline

If you are an adult worried about a child, you can talk it over with their specialist team, who will listen, advise and take any action needed. It is never too soon to talk to them.

Good to know

The helpline is for adults concerned about a child. Children and young people should call Childline on 0800 1111. If your worry about a child's safety grows, contact the police or local Children's Services directly.

We list this organization because it is a national service for the need on this page. We’re not affiliated with it, and we don’t speak for it. Last checked October 3, 2026: we opened its own site and confirmed this link and number. We don’t call the lines, and hours can change — their site has the latest.

Heavy moment? Call Samaritans on 116 123 — or we’re here.
