Published by NSPCC Learning with support from the PSHE Association, the updates include a presentation of the “Underwear Rule” to use with children aged 3 to 5.

The resources include lesson plans, classroom activities, slide presentations and teaching guidance. They all help teaching staff and parents to “talk PANTS with children” without having to use scary language or without mentioning sex.

Developed with children, parents, carers and teachers, the PANTS initiative helps children understand that their body belongs to them, that they have a right to say no, and that they should tell a safe adult they trust if anything makes them feel upset or worried.
