Confidentiality

Our service is completely confidential unless you or another person are in danger or at risk of harm.

All contacts are received by specially trained Childline Listeners:

  • Who care about you
  • Who will believe you
  • Who will understand it takes a lot of courage to contact us
  • Who you can trust
  • Who will not judge you
  • Who respects confidentiality – you do not need to give us your name or any details about yourself if you don’t want to.
