Operation Encompass
We participate in a project in partnership with Merseyside Police called Operation Encompass alongside all other schools in Merseyside. The project aims to support children who are affected by domestic abuse. Each school has a member of staff who is trained to liaise with the police, when required, whilst ensuring support is available to the child. If you would like to speak to someone further about the project or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact our Designated Safeguarding Team (safeguarding@prescotschool.org.uk)
