Operation Encompass is an initiative to safeguard and support children in education where domestic violence occurs in their home and was launched across Sefton in October 2014. All Sefton schools participate in the scheme which is run in partnership with Merseyside Police.
Following a domestic violence incident attended by Merseyside Police, at which children from our school were present, Merseyside Police will notify one of our trained Key Adults prior to the start of the next school day. This enables us to provide the most effective support for our children.
The trained KEY ADULTS at St Robert Bellarmine school are:
Mrs Dowell - Designated Safeguarding Lead
Mrs Austin - Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead
