We work in partnership with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in an initiative called Operation Encompass.
This is explained by the GMP:
“Operation Encompass aims to reduce the long-term impacts of domestic abuse by providing early intervention and support.”
When the police attend incidents of domestic violence or abuse where children are directly or indirectly involved, they notify the Designated Safeguarding Lead at the child’s school before the start of the next school day. The Safeguarding Leads then make sure the child gets the immediate support that they need.
Training is also offered to school staff - teaching them to identify and support children affected by domestic abuse.”
This is a valuable initiative that means we can continue to support and help children and families within our school community when they need it the most.
