Encompass 

Broughton High School is part of Operation Encompass.

Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced domestic abuse.

As a school we have ensured that Mr Bailey (Designated Safeguarding Lead) and Mrs Boardman, Miss Cross, Mrs Bamber and Mr Banks (Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads), each known as a Key Adult, have been trained in the Operation Encompass procedures.  This allows us to then use the information thathas been shared, in confidence, to support the child/ren in our care.  This can often lead to a member of the Pastoral team having a conversation with your child, and yourself, where appropriate.

The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 identifies children who experience domestic abuse as victims of domestic abuse in their own right.

We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our pupils and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.
