Operation Encompass is a partnership between the police and education settings that helps us provide timely and appropriate support to children and young people who may have experienced or been exposed to domestic abuse.
Through Operation Encompass, our designated safeguarding staff may be informed by the police when a child or young person in our care has been involved in, or affected by, a domestic abuse incident. This information is shared securely and in confidence, enabling us to understand that a young person may need additional support, reassurance or flexibility.
At In Toto Ed, the safety and wellbeing of every young person is at the heart of what we do. Being part of Operation Encompass helps us respond sensitively and appropriately, while maintaining the privacy and dignity of the children, young people and families we support.
If you have any questions about Operation Encompass or safeguarding at In Toto London, please contact a member of our safeguarding team.
Operation Encompass is a national initiative that supports children and young people who experience domestic abuse. It enables the police to share relevant information with a child’s school or education setting following a domestic abuse incident, so that appropriate support can be available when they arrive.
Information shared through Operation Encompass is treated sensitively and confidentially and is used to help safeguard and support the child or young person.
Parents and carers can find further information about the scheme, including how it works and the support it provides, on the official Operation Encompass website.
