Operation Encompass

Operation Encompass does not replace or supersede existing safeguarding processes or protocols, rather it seeks to support these operationally. The Protocol will be followed in conjunction with Salford’s Safeguarding Children Board/Salford Safeguarding Partnership.

By sharing information under the Encompass model, children and young people who are experiencing domestic abuse will have access to responsive support after a domestic abuse incident. The school will receive information when:

·        Police have been called out to a domestic abuse incident

·        The child is present in the household at the time of the incident

·        The child is of school age

If there is a serious situation which involves a 'Threat to Life' warning, school would be informed by the Police.

Salford LA have produced a short animation video which explains to children what Operation Encompass is and how their school Key Adult supports them following an incident of Domestic Abuse where the Police attended.  The animation may also be a useful tool to help when explaining Operation Encompass/domestic abuse, the child’s feelings and, how school will support them.
