Harmful Sexual Behaviour Prevention Toolkit

The Lucy Faithfull Foundation has produced this toolkit which may be used by parents/carers and professionals to help them be aware of the risks of harmful sexual behaviour in children and young people. The toolkit includes support, advice, information, and resources and links to useful organisations. It has been recommended by the Essex Head of Education Safeguarding and Wellbeing. This resource is designed for children of all ages, so we recommend that parents take time to look through for advice and tips that are appropriate to the age of their children.

Operation Encompass

Operation Encompass Safeguarding Statement 

Our school is part of Operation Encompass.

Operation Encompass is a national police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people who experience Domestic Violence and Abuse and which is in place in every police force in England and Wales.

Children were recognised as victims of domestic abuse in their own right in the 2021 Domestic Abuse Act.

Operation Encompass means that the police will share information with our school about all police attended Domestic Abuse incidents which involve any of our children PRIOR to the start of the next school day.
