Further information
Edinburgh, Talk PANTS is a partnership between the Edinburgh Child Protection Committee and NSPCC Scotland. The aim is to protect children from sexual abuse by encouraging parents, carers and professionals to have simple but important conversations to help children understand what is and is not OK, and how to speak out if anything does not feel right.
The campaign aims to raise awareness of the PANTS rule across the city. PANTS helps children understand that they have a right to say no and if they need to speak out about something, someone will listen. There is a range of resources available for parents, carers and professionals who work with children.
You can find more information about PANTS on the NSPCC website or you can email scotlandcampaigns@nspcc.org.uk.
You can download PANTS guides and resoures from the NSPCC Scotland website.
