Online Resources for Parents

The Pants Rule - 

At school we use the NSPCC’s campaign which is specifically designed to help us all keep children safe.   With the help of their friendly dinosaur Pantosaurus, and a super fun, friendly song, talking PANTS is a simple but effective way to help you teach your child to be safe.
