Operation Encompass

Operation Encompass is a Police initiative, to inform the school within 24 hours, when there has been an incident of Domestic Violence or Abuse which involves a pupil at Northiam CE Primary school.

When the Police attend an incident, and there are children present, they will notify the school, via email, that the incident occurred. At Tollgate, this is sent to the Safeguarding Team, Mrs Bray, Mrs Babicz, Miss Mewett and Mr Loveday.

The information shared with the school will be limited: no details of the incident, merely that there was an incident, the time and venue and that Police attended.

By informing the school of this, we can be better equipped to support your child, whether that means additional monitoring and TLC, if they are presenting as upset, or perhaps a more generous interpretation of the behaviour and sanctions policy, if they are presenting with challenging behaviour.

The school will not contact the parents. Should you wish to discuss an incident, please contact the office and ask to speak to Mrs Bray.
