St Brendan’s Catholic Primary School is part of a jointly run operation between Northamptonshire County Council, Northamptonshire Police and our school. The national name for this process is Operation Encompass. Operation Encompass has been set up to help schools to provide support to children who may have been affected by incidents of domestic abuse. We know that children can be significantly physically or emotionally harmed when they are involved in, present or witness to domestic abuse.
Under this scheme, the school will receive notification from the County Council following any domestic incident that a child at their school may have been affected by.
This information will be received by our Designated Safeguarding Leads.
They have received guidance from Northamptonshire County Council to allow them to use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to make sure that the right support is available for children and their families.
