Dear Parent/Carer,

We are writing to inform you that New Leaf is participating in an important initiative called Operation Encompass. This initiative is designed to support children and young people who are affected by domestic abuse.

What is Operation Encompass?

Operation Encompass is a partnership between local police forces and schools. When police have been called to a domestic abuse incident where children are present or affected, the school will be informed before the start of the next school day. This information is shared confidentially with the school’s safeguarding team so that appropriate support can be given to the child or young person.

Why is this important?

Children who experience or witness domestic abuse can often feel anxious, upset, or distracted at school. By knowing about these incidents, our staff can ensure that the child receives the care and support they need, whether that’s emotional support, extra understanding, or simply being aware of their circumstances for that day.

Confidentiality

The information shared with us is treated with strict confidentiality. Only staff members who are directly involved in supporting the child’s well-being will be informed. This allows us to respond in a sensitive and timely manner.

Further Support

For more information, please read the full letter here.

If you have any questions about Operation Encompass or would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact our Designated Safeguarding Lead, Miss C. Kirkham. 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to ensure the safety and well being of all our students.
