OPERATION ENCOMPASS
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 recognised children as victims of domestic abuse in their own right if they see, hear or experience the effects of domestic abuse. The response to domestic abuse must recognise the impact that domestic abuse has on children and should be informed by the voice and needs of children, ensuring that children affected by
domestic abuse are supported. Everyone has a role to play in safeguarding and protecting children who are victims of domestic abuse. Successful outcomes for children affected by domestic abuse depend on strong multi-agency working and partnership across the whole
system of help, support and protection. Effective support requires police and educational settings to work together.
This guidance is issued alongside commencement of the duty on police forces in England and Wales to notify any relevant educational establishment, where they have attended a domestic abuse incident in a child’s home. This is known as the Operation Encompass Scheme. The duty is set out in Section 49A of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.
We actively receive domestic abuse notifications from the police where there has been an incident in the child's household. We use this information to provide appropriate support in school.
