Operation Emcompass
In conjunction with Merseyside Police, West Derby School is involved in an initiative called Operation Encompass.
The purpose of Operation Encompass is to safeguard and support children and young people who have been involved in, or heard or witnessed, a domestic abuse incident. Following such an incident, children can arrive at school distressed, upset, worried and unprepared. Operation Encompass aims to ensure that appropriate school staff (called Key Adults) are made aware early enough to support children and young people in a way that means they feel safe and included.
At West Derby School our Key Adult is Mr Thomas (Deputy Headteacher and Designated Safeguarding Lead).
This is a valuable initiative that means we can continue to support and help children and families within our school community when they need it the most.
You can find out more by visiting www.operationencompass.org or by contacting our Key Adult.
There is also a wealth of information regarding support available on the Liverpool City Council website via the link below:
