Local schools around the County and Staffordshire Police are involved with Operation Encompass and as we begin a new academic year we will outline what this means for our school communities and the role it takes in keeping children safe.
What is Operation Encompass?
Operation Encompass is a charitable organisation set up in 2011, which has since enabled effective interventions to many thousands of children who have experienced domestic abuse. The creators of Operation Encompass work to ensure that police and schools throughout the country are able to address those impacted by domestic abuse consistently and coherently.
Operation Encompass directly connects the police with schools to ensure support for children living with domestic abuse in their homes when there has been a Police attended incident of Domestic Abuse. Rapid provision of support within the school environment means children are better safeguarded against the short-, medium- and long-term effects of domestic abuse.
