Additional Support for Parents relating to PSHE and RSE Education

We use NSPCC Pants resources to continually talk to our pupils about consent, at an age appropriate level,

Two videos accompany this which teach children how to consider what they share online and whom they may be talking to:

• NSPCC Share Aware Lucy & The Boy
