At our school we are working in partnership with Norfolk Constabulary and Norfolk Children's Services to identify and provide appropriate support to pupils who have experienced domestic violence in their household; this scheme is called Operation Encompass.  In order to achieve this, Norfolk Multi-agency Safeguarding Hub will share police information of all domestic incidents where one of our pupils has been present with one of the following Designated Safeguarding Leads at our school.  (Cara Fahy - Headteacher,  Janine Salter - Deputy Headteacher and Laura Stimpson (SENCO)

On receipt of any information, the Designated Safeguarding Lead will decide on the appropriate support the child requires.
