We work with professionals including teachers, health professionals, social workers, police, the courts and many others to support them to protect children and to fulfil children’s rights.
In partnership with sportScotland, we work with sports governing bodies, clubs and other sporting professionals to help them keep children safe.
On behalf of the Scottish Government, we operate the Safeguarders Panel team. The team recruit, select, train, appoint, support and monitor Safeguarders; independent advisors who advise a children’s panel or sheriff about what is in the best interests of a child during a children’s hearing or related court proceeding.
If you are a professional and interested in working with us to keep children safe, please get in touch, we would be happy to help. Email our children and family services team: cfs@childrenfirst.org.uk
