We participate in a jointly run operation between Central Bedfordshire Council, Bedfordshire Police and our school, which is called ‘Operation Encompass’.

‘Encompass’ has been set up to help schools and colleges provide support to children who have been present at incidents of domestic abuse and violence. We know that children can be significantly physically or emotionally harmed when they are involved in, present at or are a witness to domestic abuse.

The school will receive a confidential, secure email as soon as possible on the morning of any domestic incident which Bedfordshire Police have attended where a child at our school has been involved in, present at or witness to domestic abuse.

We are keen to offer the best support possible to our pupils and we believe participation in Operation Encompass to be extremely beneficial for all those involved.

If you have any concerns or questions, please ask one of our Safeguarding team and we will be happy to discuss this further.
