BWS nominated charity for 2018
At NSPCC Scotland we believe that every child deserves a happy childhood. We are delighted that
BWS are continuing to support our work in Scotland helping us to protect children and keep them
safe. BWS are helping us be there for children in Scotland in a variety of ways, including:
NSPCC Schools Service
We work with schools around the country to reach as many children as possible. The ‘Speak out,
Stay safe’ assemblies and workshops give children the knowledge and understanding they need to
stay safe from abuse. In the past year, we have reached over 100,000 primary school children from
Shetland to the Borders.
Childline
Operating from bases in Glasgow and Aberdeen, our trained Childline counsellors are there for
young people 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Talking to Childline can be the first step that gets
a child’s life back on track.
Services for children and families
In Scotland, we focus on early intervention work to prevent abuse and neglect in early years. We
work with families going through difficult times and run a number of programmes which provide
parents with the skills needed to ensure their children get the best start in life.
Worried about a child?
The NSPCC Helpline provides support to thousands of parents, professionals and families. Year on
year, the number of calls and online contacts is increasing, helping to protect more children.
Contact our trained helpline counsellors for 24/7 help, advice and support.
