 Operation Encompass Safeguarding Statement

 OUR KEY ADULTS ARE:

 Hannah Easthope and Kerry Cutler             

 Our school is part of Operation Encompass. This is a police and education early intervention safeguarding   partnership which supports children and young people who experience Domestic Abuse.

 Operation Encompass means that the police will share information about Domestic Abuse incidents with our school soon after they have been called to a domestic   incident.

 All Key Adults (DSL/DDSL) have attended an Operation Encompass local briefing as well as national online training.

 Our parents are fully aware that we are an Operation Encompass school.

 The Operation Encompass information is stored in line with all other confidential safeguarding and child protection information.

 The Key Adult has also led briefings for all school staff and Governors about Operation Encompass, the prevalence of Domestic Abuse and the impact of this abuse   on children. We have also discussed how we can support our children following the Operation Encompass notification.

 The Safeguarding Governor will report on Operation Encompass in the termly report to Governors. All information is anonymised for these reports.

 The Key Adult has used the Operation Encompass Toolkit to ensure that all appropriate actions have been taken by the school.
