Operation Encompass
Jenny Wren Nursery is now part of Operation Encompass which has been recently made accessible to Early Years Settings.
Operation Encompass is a partnership between police and schools to support children and young people who have been exposed to domestic abuse or other forms of adverse childhood experience. The partnership enables police forces to share information with schools about incidents of domestic abuse involving their pupils, so that schools can offer immediate and appropriate support.
Being part of this nationwide initiative means that our rigorous Safeguarding protocols are further built upon. Our Designated Safeguarding Lead and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead have completed relevant training.
