All primary children recently had a visit from the NSPCC to learn about keeping safe. Here are some links for parents…
SHARE AWARE
A resource for parents aimed at keeping children safe on social networks – information here http://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/share-aware/
UNDERWEAR RULE
The NSPCC Schools Service has recently visited all children in Primary 6 & 7 to provide them with key messages about keeping safe. It can be beneficial for these messages to be reinforced at home. The NSPCC has developed some guides for all parents of primary school aged children to speak to your child about keeping safe – called the Underwear rule.
You can find guides to the Underwear Rule to help you have simple conversations about keeping safe from abuse at www.nspcc.org.uk/underwear
You can speak to an advisor for further advice or request a hard-copy guide for parents and carers by phoning the NSPCC Helpline on 0808 800 5000. You can also visit www.nspcc.org.uk/parents for other advice on keeping your child safe.
