Operation Encompass
In conjunction with Cheshire Police, Weston Point College is involved in a new initiative called Operation Encompass. The purpose of Operation Encompass is to safeguard and support children and young people who have been involved in, heard or witnessed a domestic abuse incident. Following such an incident, children will often arrive at school distressed, upset, worried and unprepared. Operation Encompass aims to ensure that appropriate school staff (called "Key Adults") are made aware early enough to support children and young people in a way that means that feel safe and included.
At Weston Point College our Key Adult is Tim Whittle, the Head Teacher.
This is a valuable initiative that means we can continue to support and help children and families with our school community when they need it the most.
You can find out more by visiting www.operationencompass.org or by contacting Tim Whittle.
