Operation Encompass

St Theresa’s works in partnership with Operation Encompass which is a police and education early information safeguarding partnership enabling schools to offer immediate support to children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse.

Operation Encompass emails the Designated Safeguarding Lead known as a Key Adult, prior to the start of the next school day, after an incident of police attending a scene of domestic abuse where there are children related to either of the adult parties involved. This sharing of information enables appropriate support to be given depending on the needs and wishes of the child or young person.
