OPERATION ENCOMPASS

As part of Holy Familys'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 Greater Manchester 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 school's Key Adult and will enable us to provide the best possible support for the child.

The Key Adult at our school is Miss Riley (Head 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 Miss Riley on the school telephone number: 0161 921 2900.

ONLINE SAFETY

Our pupils are growing up in a world of ever-changing technology. While we feel that the use of technology is a largely positive aspect of modern life, we cannot ignore the risks that can be associated. 

Throughout school we aim to teach children:

• about the impact of cyber-bullying and what to do if they have been affected.
• to be vigilant when communicating online recognising that people may not always be who they say they are and to be sensible about what they share.
• to tell an adult they trust if something is upsetting them.
• to question the reliability of information given through a web based source.
• to search responsibly for information while using internet browsers
