What is Child Protection? – Information for Parents
Information from Dorset Council giving an overview of what happens during a child protection enquiry for a child. Click here to read the leaflet. We are part of the Operation Encompass Project, which is a partnership between schools and the police to support children who have experienced Domestic Violence.
WHAT WE DELIVEROperation Encompass directly connects the police with schools to ensure support for children living with domestic abuse in their homes when there has been a police attended incident of Domestic Abuse. Rapid provision of support within the school environment means children are better safeguarded against the short-, medium- and long-term effects of domestic abuse. |
WHAT WE DOOperation Encompass provides an efficient, confidential channel of communication between police forces and Key Adults within schools. This enables the immediate and discrete recognition of the child's situation by the Key Adult, ensuring a secure and sympathetic environment is provided and the broader effects of abuse are addressed. |
WHO WE AREOperation Encompass is a charitable organisation set up in 2011, which has since enabled effective interventions to many thousands of children who've experienced domestic abuse. The creators of Operation Encompass are working tirelessly to ensure that police and schools throughout the country are able to address victims of domestic abuse consistently and coherently. |
