Operation Encompass. A project that will run jointly between schools and Dorset Police.

The school has been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly between schools and Dorset Police. 
 
Operation Encompass is the notification to schools when a child or young person has experienced any domestic abuse, this information will be shared with the schools. 
 
Operation Encompass will ensure that senior safeguarding members of the school staff, (Designated Safeguarding Leads – Mark Partridge, Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads – Lee Goodlet, Kim Miller)  known as a Key Adults, are trained to allow them to receive information from the police and to use the information that has been shared, in confidence, while ensuring that the school is able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in 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.
