Dear Parent/Carer,

 

St Michael’s CE Primary has been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly with Dorset Police.

 

Operation Encompass is the notification scheme that informs school when a child or young person has experienced any domestic abuse.

 

Operation Encompass has ensured that senior safeguarding members of staff, Designated Safeguarding Lead (Nick Wills) and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (Anthony Evans and Jane Goodall), known as ‘Key Adults’, are trained to receive and use information from the Police, in confidence, while ensuring that the school is able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in a domestic abuse incident.

 

We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our pupils and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.

 

Yours faithfully                                    

 

Anthony Evans

Head Teacher
