Operation Encompass
As part of our commitment to support and safeguard our pupils, we are part of the Lancashire initiative, Operation Encompass. This partnership scheme has been set up to provide early reporting to schools about any domestic abuse incidents that occur outside of school hours, which may have an impact on the schooling of a pupil the following day. Information will only be shared with the school by police where it is identified that a young person was present, witnessed or was involved the incident.
