Domestic Abuse Support

At Ashmead we use the NSPCC 'Talk Pants' initiative. Pantosaurus helps the children to understand the concept of safeguarding themselves when it comes to their bodies. The 5 messages we teach are:

P - Pants are private

A - Always remember your body belongs to you

N - No means no

T - Talk about secrets that upset you

S - Speak up, someone can help

There is a great video created by the NSPCC to support your child in understanding these messages. You can find this on the NSPCC website. Follow the link here to find the video and for further advice on the support you can give your child at home: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/support-for-parents/pants-underwear-rule/

Bucks Safe Haven, in partnership with Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, provides an alternative to A&E for people experiencing mental health crisis.

Bucks Safe Haven work collaboratively with you to empower you and provide emotional listening support as well as helping you to manage your mental health better. They help you to understand where to go for help in the local community, but most importantly to feel safer and create safety plans if you are struggling to keep yourself safe due to thoughts of self-harm or of ending your life.
