Domestic Abuse OPERATION ENCOMPASS
Operation Encompass is a police and education early information safeguarding partnership enabling schools to offer support to children experiencing domestic abuse.
Operation Encompass ensures that there is a notification made to a school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead prior to the start of the next school day following police attendance due to any domestic abuse incident where there are children present or related to either of the adult parties involved. 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 the course of a child’s life. Domestic abuse can impact upon social, psychological, physical, emotional and behavioural outcomes and can also extend into a potential negative impact upon a child’s academic success. Experiencing domestic abuse has been identified as an Adverse Childhood Experience.
Operation Encompass aims to enable schools to gain a greater understanding of the impact that living with domestic abuse can have upon children. This is aimed to be achieved by directly connecting police and schools in order to secure better outcomes for children, to help schools to better understand a child’s lived experience and to therefore be able to support and nurture each child , making a child’s day better today and giving them a better tomorrow.
