Operation Encompass

Happy Corner Nursery are taking part in a joint operation involving Birmingham Children’s Trust, Birmingham City Council, and West Midlands Police. This will formally be known as Operation Encompass

Operation Encompass has been established to help education settings to provide in-school support to children who have been present at, exposed to or involved in any domestic abuse incident.

We know that children can be significantly harmed, physically and/or emotionally, during these situations, and that it also negatively affects their learning and behaviour.

Therefore, as part of the Operation Encompass procedure, and to help mitigate the resulting negative impact, the nursery will now receive a confidential phone call or email from West Midlands Police before 9am the morning after a child has been witness to, or involved in, any reported domestic abuse incident. 

The nursery have dedicated and child-focussed Safeguarding Team. They are specially trained to effectively use the information the Police share, in confidence, and enable the school to provide the right support to any child and their family. 

We always endeavour to offer the best support possible to our families and believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.
