Our school is part of Operation Encompass.  This is a police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people who experience Domestic Abuse.

Operation Encompass means that the police will share information about Domestic Abuse incidents with our school soon after they have been called to a domestic incident.

All Key Adults (DSL / DDSL) have attended an Operation Encompass local briefing as well as national online training.

The Operation Encompass information is stored in line with all other confidential safeguarding and child protection information.

The Key Adult has also led briefings for all school staff and Governors about Operation Encompass, the prevalence of Domestic Abuse and impact of this abuse on children.  We have also discussed how we can support our children following the Operation Encompass notification.

The Safeguarding Governor will report on Operation Encompass in the termly report to Governors.  All information is anonymised for these reports.

The Key Adult has used the Operation Encompass Toolkit to ensure that all appropriate actions have been taken by the school.

The Key Adults at QPIA are:  Mrs Edwards (Headteacher), Miss Donald (Deputy Headteacher - Inclusion Lead) and Mrs Parker (Family Support Worker).
