Operation Encompass
Operation Encompass has been designed to provide early reporting to schools of any domestic abuse incidents that occur in which a child was present, ordinarily resides at the incident location or with an involved party. We know that children can be significantly affected through witnessing or being exposed to domestic abuse and this operation will allow us to better support our pupils and their families.
A nominated member of staff, known as a Key Adult, will be trained to liaise with the police. At Alfriston School our Key Adult is our safeguarding lead, Lindsey Hudson. She will be able to use information that has been shared with her, in confidence, to ensure that the right support is available should it be required by a child and/or their family.
