Christ the King Catholic Primary School has been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly between Islington schools and the Metropolitan Police.

Operation Encompass is the medium of notifying schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has been exposed to, or involved with, any domestic incident.  We know that children can be significantly physically or emotionally harmed when this is the case and the information received will be used to make sure the right support is available for children and their families in school.

Operation Encompass will ensure that a trained member of the school staff, known as a Designated Safeguarding Lead, can use any information that has been shared, in confidence.  At the same time the school will be able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in, or exposed to, a domestic abuse incident.

We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our pupils and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.

If you have any concerns or questions then please contact Mrs Lane, our Designated Safeguarding Lead or one of the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (Mrs Abbott, Mr Lane, Mrs Sumsion) who will be happy to discuss any aspect of Operation Encompass with you.
