What is the Underwear Rule?
Episode 19, Oct 28, 2019, 09:17 AM
We teach children various safety messages when they are growing up but how do you talk to them about sexual abuse without using scary words or making them feel worried?
The Underwear Rule (also referred to as PANTS) is a simple way to have age-appropriate conversations with children about keeping safe from sexual abuse.
Tune into our episode for more about:
- the impact PANTS has had since it launched in 2012
- having conversations around PANTS and embedding the messages into daily life
- how local safeguarding boards, parents, schools and local communities are helping to raise awareness of the campaign
- what children have said about the PANTS campaign and future developments to materials and resources.
