Operation Encompass ensures there is a simple phone call or notification, to a trained member of school staff, before a child arrives in school. The call or notification is triggered by police recently attending the child’s home or being involved in a domestic abuse incident, that the child has experienced.

Operation Encompass does not tell schools what to do following a call from the police. However the website and Key Adult training provide many ideas and resource links

It is our aim to ensure that Operation Encompass is in every Force, in every school, for every child. 

The Operation Encompass website is designed to:

• Provide training for Key Adults and a register of Key Adults.
• Provide a register of Police Forces taking part in Operation Encompass.
• Provide resources so that a school can participate successfully in Operation Encompass.
• Allow schools and police forces to actively share good practice.
