THE ZARTARBIA COMMITMENT TO CHILDLINE: “By collaborating with ChildLine, we hope to raise as much awareness for the helpline as possible. We are living in an age where an increasing number of children and young people are subjected to abuse and I hope by reading my books they will see this is unacceptable. For children aware of issues raised within the storylines and who want advice, will be made aware of the fact that ChildLine exists.

The Zartarbia Tales proudly support ChildLine and the vital 24 hour telephone helpline they provide for any child who has a problem. As the author of these books, I am delighted to have formed an alliance with this essential children’s charity and hope that by having ChildLine telephone number and details printed inside the books it will help children to address any concerns they might have with one of their trained counsellors.”

COMMENT FROM CHILDLINE:

“The Zartarbia Tales create a magical world of fantasy that children can escape into, but at the same time help children to navigate some of the aspects of life that are challenging, scary or unpleasant. That mirrors what we do at ChildLine, supporting children to find ways through their problems and giving them hope and emotional resilience, which is why we’re delighted to be working in partnership with The Zartarbia Tales.”

Natasha Finyayson,
Director of Communications and Policy at ChildLine.

 

Childline is there 24 hours a day, seven days a week -
a reassuring voice at the end of the telephone that won’t judge or criticise, but will simply listen.

It is a helpline where children can call free on 0800 1111 from any phone, at any time.

Childline, however depends one donations and volunteers.

Donations can be made directly to childline
