Children's savings and parents' mortgage

Hi,
My children's savings (not a huge amount) are in Dunfermline BS accounts, and our mortgage is with Nationwide.
With the DBS now being part of Nationwide, *if* Nationwide were to collapse (okay I'm in the hyper-hypotheticals here!) would our debt (mortgage) be subtracted from their savings (effectively wiping out their savings as the mortgage dwarfs them)!
I'm guessing not, but they are dependants so I'm not 100% sure.
Anyone know?
Cheers,
Ben
