Confidentiality promise

It is always our intention to keep calls to ChildLine confidential, but if we are very worried about your safety because the situation you say you are in makes us think your life or the life of someone else is being threatened, we will talk to you about the need for other people to know. Your ChildLine counsellor will only take action if they feel it's an emergency. Find out more.
