Every child safe, every child 1098
Linked to the national Childline 1098 service, READ runs a rescue and protection network for children at risk of child labour, abuse, neglect or trafficking — reaching the children who need help most.
Help is one number away
1098 is a free, 24×7 emergency helpline any child — or any concerned adult — can call. READ’s team responds, intervenes and connects children to safety, care and the services they’re entitled to.
Alongside rescue, we run awareness sessions in schools and villages on child marriage, child abuse and children’s rights, so whole communities help keep children safe.
