Operation Encompass

Birkett House School is part of "Operation Encompass", a safeguarding initiative that aims to improve outcomes for children and their families affected by domestic violence and abuse.

Operation Encompass shares information about domestic abuse incidents, where a child has been present and police have attended, with the child's school. This is because we know the impact that domestic abuse can have on children and enables the school to provide appropriate support. The information is shared directly by the police via email or phone call to a trained member of staff. The information will be treated as confidential and only shared on a need-to-know basis, for example with the class teacher.

If you would like to speak to someone in confidence about domestic violence or abuse, please call the Leicester, Leicestershire& Rutland Domestic Abuse Helpline (FREEVA) on 0800 802 0028 or visit https://www.freeva.org.uk/"
