Operation Encompass InformationKingsley Primary School works alongside Merseyside Police to protect and support our pupils and families who may witness or suffer from domestic abuse.Operation Encompass is a police and school early intervention safeguarding information sharing partnership which supports children experiencing domestic violence and abuse.Operation Encompass is based upon the national requirements to not only identify children in need of support but to also ensure that this support is put in place immediately: ‘Nothing is more important than children’s welfare.'Police will inform school of any incident of domestic abuse that they are called to attend so that we can support any children who may be affected.Operation Encompass ensures that there is a simple telephone call or 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.To find out more, please visit:https://www.operationencompass.org/
