Operation Encompass is a police and education early information safeguarding partnership enabling schools to offer immediate support to children experiencing domestic abuse.

Children are negatively impacted by experiencing domestic abuse and without early intervention and support this negative impact can last through a child’s life course.  Domestic abuse can impact upon social, psychological, physical, emotional and behavioural outcomes with an often negative impact upon a child’s academic success. Experiencing domestic abuse has been identified as an Adverse Childhood Experience.

Mrs Wood is the identified ‘Key Adult’ within our federation and has completed core training. If a child were to witness domestic abuse which was reported to school, Mrs Wood would be notified. This notification would enable appropriate teaching staff to provide effective support to the child. 

If you have any concerns or require any support/ signposting, please do contact Mrs Wood.
