Operation Encompass

Fryent is an Operation Encompass Linked School

Operation Encompass is a police and education early information sharing partnership enabling schools to offer immediate support for children and young people experiencing domestic abuse. Information is shared by the police with a school's trained Key Adult (DSL) prior to the start of the next school day after officers have attended a domestic abuse incident thus enabling appropriate support to be given, dependent upon the needs and wishes of the child. 

If you or anyone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, they follow steps can support you:

If you/they are in immediate danger, call 999 and ask for the police. If you can’t speak and are calling on a mobile press 55 to have your call transferred to the police. Find out how to call the police when you can’t speak.

For free, confidential advice, 24 hours a day contact a domestic abuse helpline.

If you would like to speak with our DSL please come and have a chat in school or contact Miss Quick at safeguarding@fryent.brent.sch.uk
