SAFEGUARDING

Operation Encompass  

As part of St Anthony’s commitment to keeping children safe, we are proud to be part of Operation Encompass. Operation Encompass is a unique Police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people exposed to domestic abuse.

Being part of Encompass means our school will receive a notification from Lancashire Police before the start of the next school day when a child or young person has been involved in, or exposed to a domestic abuse incident the previous day.  The information is given in confidence to the Key Adults and will enable us to provide the best possible support for the child.

The Key Adults at our school are Mrs Jane Barnes (Headteacher and Designated Safeguarding Lead) Mrs Vicki Berry (Deputy Head teacher and Designated Safeguarding Lead).  If you have any questions or wish to know more about our involvement in Operation Encompass, please do not hesitate to contact on the school telephone number: 01772 726621.
