Operation Encompass
Operation Encompass is a unique police and education early intervention safeguarding partnerships enabling support for children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse. Holy Trinity is part of Operation Encompass which is a national scheme that operates jointly between schools and police forces. Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced domestic abuse. The police notify schools about any incident where a child has experienced domestic abuse.
