Operation Encompass

Our academy supports Operation Encompass.

Operation Encompass is an information-sharing safeguarding partnership between police and education, enabling schools to offer immediate support to children experiencing domestic abuse in their family or household.

Operation Encompass is a national police-led initiative to notify schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced any form of domestic abuse. An officer attending an incident of domestic abuse will record at the scene the names and school of any children in the household. This will result in an email notification to our academy in readiness for the start of the next school day. This sharing of information will enable us to provide appropriate support, dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child and/or family.

The Operation Encompass notification will be sent to the setting’s Key Adult (for our academy, this is the Designated Safeguarding Lead).

In the words of the scheme’s own mission statement, Operation Encompass aims to enable schools to better understand the impact living with domestic abuse has upon children; to help schools better understand a child’s lived experience; and to therefore be able to support and nurture each child, making a child’s day better and giving them a better tomorrow.
