Operation Encompass

Operation Encompass helps children who experience domestic abuse. 

How it works -

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 lead then makes sure the child gets the immediate support that they need. 

At Ellwood school we strive to identify and support children affected by domestic abuse. 

The programme operates in all police forces in the UK. It is available for every school in every police force. Where police forces have the capacity, they include registered nurseries, pre-schools and childminders.

If you have any concerns about domestic violence, please speak confidentially to a staff member. We are always here to help.
