Operation Encompass is a partnership between the Police Service of Northern Ireland, Safeguarding Board Northern Ireland, the Education Authority and schools aimed at supporting a child or young person who has been involved or exposed to a domestic abuse incident the previous evening
If the incident is attended by police and children are present, they will contact the child’s school the next morning to share this information with their safeguarding team.
The information is given in strict confidence to only the school’s Designated Teacher to enable support to be given, dependent on the needs and wishes of the child.
This programme is being rolled out across all schools in Northern Ireland and you can find out more about Operation Encompass by clicking on the link- https://www.operationencompass.org/
