How does the helpline work?

Both children and adults (parents, relatives, specialists, neighbours, friends, acquaintances and other attentive people) are welcome to call this number. First, the consultants identify the reason for the call and give advice and instructions on how to proceed. If necessary, the information is passed on to other specialists, such as a child protection official or even the police, to help the child in need of assistance or in danger as quickly as possible and in the best and most protective way for the child.

The person calling the Child Helpline may remain anonymous if it doesn't endanger the child’s life or health. Counselling is provided in Estonian, Russian and English.

Calling the Child Helpline 116111 is free of charge and a call can be made on a mobile phone even if you have run out of credit.
