Every class in our school discusses the NSPCC’s Underwear Rule. This is part of our partnership with the NSPCC.
This is designed to teach pupils how to stay safe from sexual abuse, without giving
explicit information or telling scary stories or even using the term “sexual abuse.”
In the lesson, children learnt 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
The lessons were delivered in a way that’s fully age-appropriate.
More information about the Underwear Rule, including a short film and a parent
guide can be found at nspcc.org.uk/underwearrule.
