Operation Encompass
Operation Encompass
Operation Encompass is a police and education early information safeguarding partnership enabling educational settings to offer immediate support to children experiencing domestic abuse.
Operation Encompass ensures that there is a simple telephone call or electronic notification to a school’s trained Designated Safeguarding Lead /Officer (known as Key Adult) prior to the start of the next school day after an incident of police attended domestic abuse where there are children related to either of the adult parties involved.
Information is shared with a school’s Key Adult (Designated Safeguarding Lead or Officer) prior to the start of the next school day after officers have attended a domestic abuse incident. This sharing of information enables appropriate support to be given, dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child.
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.
Operation Encompass aims, by directly connecting police and schools, to secure better outcomes for children , to enable schools to better understand the impact living with domestic abuse has upon children, to help schools to better understand a child’s living experience and to therefore be able to support and nurture each child , making a child’s day better and giving them a better tomorrow.
Our aim is to have Operation Encompass in every force, in every school, for every child no matter where they live. It is simply every child’s right.
Safeguarding Audit
Pupil Voice
Stephen Fisher, our LDBS advisor, recently held safeguarding conversations with children in the school. Three formal conversations took place with groups of Key Stage 2 children. The groups comprised: boys, girls, children with SEND, children with medical conditions, children deemed vulnerable and EAL learners.
"I was enormously impressed by their maturity and by their knowledge of a range of safeguarding matters. They said without hesitation that the staff keep them safe and they described some of the measures that the school has put in place to keep them safe. For example, they know:
- what bullying is and know what to do if they feel that they are being bullied or if they see someone being bullied
- how to keep safe online
- how to maintain a feeling of wellbeing – such as having friends, playing games, playing musical instruments, playing music, exercising and reading
- what to do when the school emergency alarm sounds
- that if they approach a member of staff for help that they will be listened to and that their concerns will be acted upon. In particular, they appreciated the help provided by the HSLW."
