Leicester Safeguarding Child Partnership Board Information for parents and carers
Our school is proud to be part of Operation Encompass, a national initiative that supports children and families who may be affected by domestic abuse. As an Operation Encompass school, we work closely with the police to ensure that our safeguarding team is informed—before the start of the next school day—if a child has been involved in or exposed to a domestic incident.
This timely communication allows us to provide compassionate, tailored support to children when they may need it most. It means we can offer a safe space, understanding, and appropriate pastoral care to help them feel secure and ready to learn. For families, it ensures that we are able to work alongside you with sensitivity, offering reassurance and help from trained staff who understand the challenges you may be facing.
At our school, safeguarding and wellbeing sit at the heart of everything we do. Being an Operation Encompass school strengthens our commitment to ensuring that every child is heard, supported, and nurtured.
