Warning over Childline service funding
The children’s charity said the 24-hour service, which costs €4m a year to operate, had been budgeted for this year but may have to be curtailed from next year on if the required funding is not secured.
The warning came as the ISPCC revealed there were 837,551 calls and 27,710 texts and emails made to Childline last year, up approximately 20,000 on the figures for the previous year.
