Children 1st has launched a Create a Smile campaign on to ask people to show Scotland’s children they all deserve lives free from abuse and neglect.
Children 1st has a long history of supporting children and families who have experienced or are at risk of abuse and would never underestimate the seriousness of it, or the damaging effects it can have throughout a child’s lifetime. The complex nature of child abuse makes it difficult for many members of the public to see how they can personally make a difference. Through the #createasmile campaign they want to encourage members of the public to take a small action via social media to show they care about children who have and are experiencing abuse today. They will use this as a starting point to engage the public in a conversation about the many different ways people can support children in Scotland to live free from abuse and trauma.
You can support the campaign by visiting www.createasmile.org.uk to #createasmile – and sharing this via your social media platforms.
If you have any questions or would like more information about the campaign, please do not hesitate to contact Policy Manager, Harriet Hall: harriet.hall@children1st.org.uk
