Talk PANTS Fortnight

2nd May 2024

Dear Parent/Guardian,

This May we will be supporting the first ever NI wide Talk PANTS fortnight in school.

Through discussions and activities in class we will aim to teach our pupils important safety skills without giving explicit information.

We will be teaching our pupils the NSPCC’s, Talk PANTS rules using the PANTS acrostic, which is like a green cross code message, designed to help children stay 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

If you would like to find out more about the NSPCC’S campaign, a parent webinar is available on demand via the following link:

Further information and advice can also be found online at www.nspcc.org.uk/pants

If you have any queries or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,

Anne Marie Coleman

Acting Principal
