Child welfare is a measure of an evolved society. Children represent our investment in the future and if we can’t work out their happiness and security we have achieved little. Our cover story this month is about Childline: a voluntary service which helps children in distress reach out and find support. Childline keeps it simple. It has a phone number on which children can call in to either just talk about a situation or, more urgently, ask to be rescued.Childline has been available for around 15 years, but the stress under which children live has only increased. . .
