Our School and Pre-School are part of Operation Encompass, which is a national scheme that operates jointly between Educational and Early Years Settings, Police and Health.

Operation Encompass is a report that is generated by the police and sent to the Education/Early Years Setting when a child or young person has experienced domestic abuse.

We have ensured that a member of our staff, (Designated Safeguarding Lead), has been trained in the Operation Encompass procedures, allowing us to then use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to support the child/ren in our care. 

The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 identifies children who experience domestic abuse as victims of domestic abuse in their own right.

We are keen to offer the best support possible to all the children in our care, and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.
