Operation Encompass

We are an Operation Encompass Academy.

This is the early reporting to school when a child has been exposed to domestic violence or domestic abuse. School can then monitor the child and provide support if necessary. If you are a victim of domestic abuse or domestic violence or know someone who is, school can provide a wide range of support. Speak to headteachers for further information. ​

The Operation Encompass website offers support for victims of domestic abuse.
