Operation Encompass
Operation Encompass is a confidential partnership between schools and the police that helps keep children safe. If a child has been involved in or affected by a domestic incident, the police will let the school know. This means the school can offer the right support straight away - whether that’s a quiet space, someone to talk to, or just extra care.
It’s all about making sure children feel safe, understood, and supported - especially when things are tough at home. Only key staff are informed, and everything is handled with sensitivity and respect.

PREVENT Information
The aim of Prevent is to stop people becoming or supporting terrorists and to do this by challenging ideologies, protecting vulnerable institutions such as schools. The Prevent duty requires all schools to "have due regard to the need to prevent people being drawn into terrorism." As a school we protect our pupils from the risk of radicalisation through our wider safeguarding duties, and through our curriculum wide promotion of British Values and respect for our wider multi-cultural society. Staff receive training as part of our safeguarding duties in the recognition of children who may become vulnerable to extremism. Promoting British Values is a key part of our preventative measures.
Any concerns are formally passed on to our DSL.
