a police and education early information sharing partnership enabling schools to offer immediate support for children and young people experiencing domestic abuse. Information is shared by the police with a school\u2019s trained Key Adult (Designated Safeguarding Lead) prior to the start of the next school day after officers have attended a domestic abuse incident thus enabling appropriate support to be given, dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of Operation Encompass is to safeguard and support children and young people who have been involved in, heard or witnessed a domestic abuse incident. Following such an incident, children will often arrive at school distressed, upset, worried and unprepared. Operation Encompass aims to ensure that&nbsp;the&nbsp;trained Designated Safeguarding Lead (Joanne Backhouse) is made aware early enough to support children and young people in a way that means they feel safe and included. Parents should also inform school if their child is experiencing such issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions&nbsp;or require any further information, please speak to Head of School: Joanne Backhouse or Amy Brierley Pastoral Lead for Safeguarding and Attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out more by visiting&nbsp;<a
