35 yrs of @childline & 5 yrs since the witness seminar: thanks so much @wellcometrust, @bt_uk & @NSPCC for sponsoring, @MRCWarwick for archiving, & everyone who attended. There was so much thinking that day about the value of phones to children.
October marks 35 years since the emergence of @Childline as a free, confidential telephone counselling service for children & young people in the UK.
In 2016, our PI @EveColpus and @jenny_crane held a witness seminar to explore the history of #Childline🧵
