Aims:

To provide a free, confidential telephone helpline service, available to every parent and all others caring for a child in Scotland.

Services provided:

The national, confidential helpline provides advice and support to anyone caring for or concerned about a child.

People call for all sorts of reasons – the top issues they contact them about are when:

  • they are worried about how family members are getting on
  • they need help sorting contact and/or residence in relation to their children
  • they are worried about their child or young person’s behaviour
  • they feel under stress and just need a little time to themselves, talking with someone who understands
  • their child is being bullied and they want to discuss what to do about it

They have a series of podcasts and produce a range of factsheets on issues they are contacted about frequently – that are free to download and keep.  Information about money matters is also available.

ParentLine is open seven days a week, 365 days a year.
