NSPCC PANTS - Assembly
Monday 27th March 2023
Dear Parent/Carer,
In today’s assemblies, the children have been reminded about the NSPCC’s Underwear Rule. This is also taught through our PSHE curriculum, and aims to teach the children important safety skills without giving explicit information or telling scary stories. The NSPCC’s Underwear Rule uses the ‘PANTS’ acrostic, which is 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 you
- · Speak up, someone can help
The poster gives the age-appropriate information that has been shared with the children.

If you would like to know more about the NSPCC’s campaign and see how you can help keep your children safe in partnership with Southover, more information can be found at nspcc.org.uk/underwearrule
If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards,
Noel Fadden and Zoe Short
