Frontline

Who we are

Frontline was set up as a charity to build a movement of social workers and leaders to bring about safety and stability for children.

We focus entirely on social work for children and families, and bring in social workers specifically trained to work in this area. 

We do this because of our vision that children’s life chances are not limited by their family or social circumstances, and we believe lasting social change can be achieved through our movement of social workers. 

We encourage and develop our social workers to be agents of change, not only with the children and families they work with, but to influence and improve the social work system in order to have a greater positive impact. 

This is what makes us unique.

Our Vision

A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.

Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.

In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.

They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.

Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
