Operation Encompass
Someries Junior School is part of Operation Encompass which has been established to help schools to provide support to children who may have been affected by incidents of domestic abuse in the home. We know that children can be significantly physically or emotionally harmed when they are involved in, present at or witness to domestic abuse.
As part of Operation Encompass, we will receive notifications following any domestic abuse incidents reported by Bedfordshire Police where a child attending the school may have been affected.
Mr Finch is designated as the Key Lead for this scheme. As our Key Adult, Mr Finch has received guidance and training from Bedfordshire Police to allow him to use the information that has been shared in confidence and to make sure the right support is available for children and their families.
