The school has been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly between schools and the Metropolitan Police. Operation Encompass directly connects the police with the school to ensure support for children when there has been (a police attended) incident of domestic abuse. Operation Encompass provides an efficient, confidential channel of communication between the police force and the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) at the school. This is to ensure that the school are able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in, or exposed to, a domestic abuse incident. 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.
