Operation Encompass

The school is part of the Operation Encompass partnership, which is a police and education early information safeguarding partnership enabling schools to offer immediate support to children experiencing domestic abuse.

Operation Encompass ensures that there is a simple notification to a school’s trained Designated Safeguarding Lead (Mr R Webb) prior to the start of the next school day after an incident of police attended domestic abuse where there are children related to either of the adult parties involved. This sharing of information enables appropriate support to be given, dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child.
