Safeguarding the children’s safety and welfare is paramount to our school and all adults working at the school undertake regular training to identify potential safeguarding issues that could be affecting our children. If you have any concerns about the welfare of a child in our school please do not hesitate to contact one of the team.

Operation Encompass

Operation Encompass is a key partnership between Cleveland Police, Local Authorities and nominated safeguarding leads in educational facilities or children’s community health support.

The main purpose of the scheme is to ensure schools, colleges or nurseries are notified of domestic abuse incidents, when a child or young person they work with has been exposed to abuse, and who may then need additional support and understanding.
 
Operation Encompass was first implemented in 2015 in Hartlepool, and is now fully in place and well embedded across all boroughs in Cleveland. This includes state and independent nurseries, schools, academies, alternative education providers and children’s community health support services, such as school nurses and health visitors.
 
A review of the scheme in 2016 found that the response to the scheme was overwhelmingly positive, and that it is making a positive change to children and victims exposed to domestic abuse.
