ChildLine in Scotland policy work focuses on the issues that children and young people tell us affect their lives. The most common issues for children to call us about are: bullying, physical abuse, sex and relationships, family issues and sexual abuse. We work to influence the Scottish Government and Parliament and professionals in Scotland to change attitudes and practices that affect children’s safety and wellbeing.
