Operation Encompass Key Adult: Miss N Oxtoby (Designated Safeguarding Lead) |
|
Our schools are part of Operation Encompass which is a national scheme that operates jointly between schools and police forces.
Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced domestic abuse and other issues that may impact upon their wellbeing.
North Yorkshire Police will now share details about children who are missing from home with us so that we can appropriately understand and support their needs when they return.
As a school we have ensured that a member of our staff, (Designated Safeguarding Lead) known as a Key Adult, has been trained in the Operation Encompass procedures allowing us to then use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to support the child/ren in our care.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 identifies children who experience domestic abuse as victims of domestic abuse in their own right.
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.
What to do if you are worried about a child or young person:
If you have any concerns about the health or safety of a child please contact our Designated Safeguarding Lead – Miss Nichola Oxtoby or our Deputy Safeguarding Lead – Mrs Claire Owuor
What to do if you are worried about a child or young person outside of school hours:
If you are worried about a child or young person under the age of 18, please ring the Emergency Duty Team on the Customer Service Centre number – 0300 131 2 131.
This number is available outside of Office hours.
In an emergency, always ring 999.
