Operation Encompass is a system which ensures the police contact a school before the next school day if one of their pupils has been exposed to domestic abuse.
The idea is to allow a school’s safeguarding team to make sure the appropriate support is in place and the initiative was set-up by headteacher Elisabeth Carney-Haworth and husband David, a former police officer.
The scheme currently operates in some form in 33 forces in England and Wales and the new funding will support the roll-out of the initiative to all forces and allow Operation Encompass to “carry out an audit of existing systems and the effectiveness of the supportive interventions in place for children”.
