Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you have had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead.
In this week’s safeguarding update, I would like to remind you of some resources which are available in order to keep your child safe when thinking about relationships; either with familiar or unfamiliar adults and peers.
The NSPCC campaign ‘Talk PANTS’ is a straightforward way to help children understand their right to keep their bodies safe.
P - Privates are private
A - Always remember your body belongs to you
N - No means No
T - Talk about secrets which upset you
S - Speak up, someone can help.
There’s no single right time to talk PANTS; it depends on your child’s age, maturity, and your family’s context.
Examples of moments that might feel natural for these talks include:
- During bath time or when getting dressed
- On car journeys
- After school, especially if they’ve had a lesson about personal safety
- While reading the PANTS storybook together
- While walking, or during a casual time when they might feel comfortable talking
- When watching TV, if a storyline raises sensitive issues
As always, we thank you for your continued support in keeping our children safe.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs Lawrence
Headteacher and Safeguarding Lead
