Kidscape is committed to keeping children safe. We are the first National Charity dedicated to preventing bullying and child abuse.

Kidscape offers..

A Helpline

We receive over 12,000 calls a year from parents worried about bullying. Our trained counsellors offer practical advice to help parents support their children and to advise them on the best ways to approach the school to make sure the bullying stops.

The Helpline is available on 08451 205 204 Monday-Friday from 10.00am-4.00pm.

Calls cost no more than 5p per minute from BT landline phones but may cost more using phones from other providers.
