Glyncoed Primary School

Operation Encompass was launched across Blaenau Gwent as part of a Gwent wide initiative to address limitations in the early sharing of information between Police and schools.

 

Its vision is to safeguard children and young people who are affected by domestic abuse, by ensuring that appropriate services are made aware of an incident at the earliest possible opportunity.

​

This school fully supports Operation Encompass the purpose of which is to safeguard and support those children and young people who have witnessed and/or been present at the time of a domestic abuse incident.

​

Following such an incident taking place, children will often arrive at school distressed and unprepared. Operation Encompass aims to ensure that appropriate school staff are made aware at the earliest possible stage in order to provide relevant and tailored support to children and young people in a way that means that they feel safe and included.

​

All information will be managed sensitively, and only staff who need to be made aware will know about the concern.

​

With your help we want to ensure every vulnerable child, woman or man that experiences or is affected by domestic abuse or domestic violence has the confidence to seek help.
