Keeping your child safe

Keeping Your Child Safe and Well

THIS IS AN OPERATION ENCOMPASS SCHOOL

Children who are affected by domestic abuse don’t have to suffer in silence.  Operation Encompass enables Key Adults in school, Police and teams within Sheffield City Council, to work together to help children feel safe, secure and receive appropriate support.

For more information, visit  www.operationencompass.org

Are you worried about the well-being or safety of a child?  Come and speak to key members of staff who will be able to offer you advice and guidance. We are here to help.
