Call 0800 1111
You can contact Childline about anything. Whatever your worry, it's better out than in. We're here to support you.
There are lots of different ways to speak to a Childline counsellor or get support from other young people.
On Wednesday 19 February and Thursday 20 February, between 3am and 7:30am, 1-2-1 chats won’t be available while we do some important maintenance to our systems.
While 1-2-1 chats are unavailable you can still speak to a counsellor by calling 0800 1111, using the message boards or sending an email from your locker. If you’re in danger or it’s an emergency, you should always call 999.
Send an email from your Childline account and we'll reply within 24 hours.
The fastest way to reach us. Call for free on any phone and it won't show on the bill.
