In our PSHE lessons during the week beginning 26th September, we discussed the NSPCC’s PANTS rules. This lesson was designed to teach pupils how to stay safe from abuse, without giving explicit information or telling scary stories. In the lesson, children learned about the ‘PANTS’ acrostic, which stands for:

• Privates are private.

• Always remember your body belongs to you.

• No means no

• Talk about secrets that upset you

• Speak up, someone can help.

More information about talking PANTS, including a short film and a parent guide can be found at nspcc.org.uk/pant
