Talk PANTS
At Ashmead we use the NSPCC 'Talk Pants' initiative. Pantosaurus helps the children to understand the concept of safeguarding themselves when it comes to their bodies. The 5 messages we teach are:
P - Pants are private
A - Always remember your body belongs to you
N - No means no
T - Talk about secrets that upset you
S - Speak up, someone can help
There is a great video created by the NSPCC to support your child in understanding these messages. You can find this on the NSPCC website. Follow the link here to find the video and for further advice on the support you can give your child at home: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/support-for-parents/pants-underwear-rule/
