Operation Encompass

Operation Encompass was created so that by 9.00am on the next school day, a ‘Key Adult” will be informed that the child or young person has been involved in or witnessed a domestic incident. This knowledge, given to schools through Operation Encompass, allows the provision of immediate early intervention through ‘overt’ or ‘silent support’, depending upon the needs and wishes of the child.
