Privates are private
Your underwear covers up your private parts and no one should ask to see them. Sometimes a doctor, nurse or family members might have to. But they should always explain why, and ask you if it’s ok. |

Always remember your body belongs to you
Your body belongs to you. No one should ever make you do things that make you feel uncomfortable. If someone asks to see or tries to touch you underneath your underwear say ‘NO’ – and tell someone you trust and like to speak to. |
 |
No means no
No means no and you always have the right to say ‘no’ – even to a family member or someone you love. You’re in control of your body and the most important thing is how YOU feel. If you want to say ‘No’, it’s your choice. |

Talk about secrets that upset you
There are good and bad secrets. Good secrets can be things like surprise parties or presents for other people. Bad secrets make you feel sad, worried or frightened. You should tell an adult you trust about a bad secret straight away. |

Speak up, someone can help
Talk about stuff that makes you worried or upset. |
If you ever feel sad, anxious or frightened you should talk to an adult you trust. This doesn’t have to be a family member. It can also be a teacher or a friend’s parent – or even Childline.
