New NSPCC Video Will Help Keep Deaf Children Safe from Sexual Abuse

The video aims to teach deaf children about the Underwear Rule (P.A.N.T.S.) and encourages them to share secrets that upset them with a trusted adult. It teaches them that their privates are private and that their body belongs to them. Download your guide to the Underwear Rule.
