There are currently no procedures for reporting Domestic Abuse incidents to schools which means that our children are left without the support and nurture they need when they need it most. Operation Encompass has been created to address this so that by 9.10 am on the next school day the school’s Key Adults will be informed that the child or young person has been involved, heard or witnessed a domestic incident.  This knowledge, given to schools through Operation Encompass, allows the provision of immediate early intervention through silent or overt support dependent on the needs and wishes of the child.

At St Paul’s our Key Adults are;

Mrs Entwistle - Pupil & Family Support Manager – Designated Safeguarding Lead

Mrs Wood - Headteacher

Mrs Cregg - Deputy Headteacher
