NSPCC Types of Abuse
The ‘Talk’ PANTS campaign helps parents of children aged 4 -11 keep their children safe from abuse.
It takes a potentially tricky subject and gives parents the tools to talk about it in an engaging and age-appropriate way. It helps children understand that their body belongs to them, and they should tell someone they trust if anything makes them feel upset or worried.
