Longridge High School is part of Operation Encompass which is a national scheme that operates jointly between schools and police forces.
Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced domestic abuse.
As a school we have ensured that Mrs K Rogers (Designated Safeguarding Lead) known as a Key Adult, has been trained in the Operation Encompass procedures. This allows us to then use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to support the child/ren in our care.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 identifies children who experience domestic abuse as victims of domestic abuse in their own right.
We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our pupils and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.
If you have a concern about a pupil who is experiencing Domestic Abuse or a parent who experiencing Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse please contact Mrs Rogers on 01772 782316 or email klr@lhs.lancs.sch.uk or use or safeguarding email safeguarding@lhs.lancs.sch.uk
