It is vital children know they can reach out to Childline for help

- By Darren Worth Childline senior supervisor, North of England

With the 24-hour news cycle a constant concern and social media platforms removing any grey areas in conversation or opinions, it can feel like the world has never been more polarised or intimidating.

Aside from the physical fears that real-life experiences like this could lead to, seeing this behaviour splashed across the news or social media every day carries with it a real risk of negative effects on our children's mental health.

It is vital that all children across the UK know that they can reach out to Childline at any time, day or night, if they are worried about anything they have seen or experienced, or if they need support and advice.
