Operation Encompass

At Holy Innocents', we are part of Operation Encompass, a national initiative that supports children and young people affected by domestic abuse.  

Operation Encompass is the notification to schools that a child (under 18) has been exposed to, or involved in, any domestic incident.  This includes incidents where the child/young person was not present but is part of the household. This will ordinarily be done by the start of the next school day.

Operation Encompass will ensure that a specially trained member of the school staff, known as a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), is informed. The DSL can then use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to ensure the wellbeing of the child.

The school may be able to make provisions or adjustments to assist the child and their family.

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