We are proud to be part of Operation Encompass, a national initiative that supports children and young people who may be affected by domestic abuse.
When police attend a domestic abuse incident, they notify the school’s trained Designated Safeguarding Lead before the start of the next school day. This ensures that staff who know the child best can offer immediate support, understanding, and care.
Being part of Operation Encompass allows us to:
Provide timely help for pupils experiencing difficulties.
Recognise and respond to changes in behaviour or wellbeing.
Offer a safe space and trusted adults in school.
Work closely with families and external agencies to keep children safe.
Our safeguarding team is trained to handle information sensitively and confidentially, always acting in the best interests of the child.
