In all classes we regularly revisit the NSPCC’s Pants rules in our PSHE lessons.

During these discussions we aim to teach our pupils the following important safety skills in a very age appropriate way, without giving explicit information or telling scary stories. We teach our children how to stay safe by learning the PANTS rules, which the NSPCC have developed to be like a Green Cross Code for staying safe from sexual abuse. 

PANTS stands for:

Privates are private.

Always remember your body belongs to you.

No means no.

Talk about secrets that upset up.

Speak up, someone can help.

The lessons cover a range of ideas, all delivered in a way that is fully age-appropriate, empowering our children without using any frightening words. These include:

• good and bad touching

• your child’s right to say no to things that make them feel upset or uncomfortable

• naming of body parts

• who your child can turn to if they ever feel upset or worried

If you would like to know more about the NSPCC’s campaign and learn how you can help keep your children safe, more information can be found at nspcc.org.uk/pants.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to either Mrs Hurley (our Family Support Worker) or myself.

Thank you for your continued support.
