We ALL work together to ensure every child at our school is safe and protected form harm. If you have a concern, please speak to a Designated Safeguarding Lead.
In conjunction with Lancashire Police, Sacred Heart RC Primary School & Nursery is involved in a national initiative called “Operation Encompass”. The purpose of Operation Encompass is to safeguard and support children and young people who have been involved in, heard or witnessed a domestic abuse incident.
Following an incident, children will often arrive at school distressed, upset, worried and unprepared. Operation Encompass aims to ensure that appropriate school staff are made aware early enough to help and support children and young people in a way that means they feel safe and included.
This is a valuable initiative that means we can help and support students and their families within our school when they need us most.
You can find out more information by visiting the Operation Encompass website (click the link below) or by contacting a member of the DSL team in school.
