We are a part of Operation Encompass
At Small World Nursery, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of every child in our care. As part of this commitment, we are proud to be part of Operation Encompass — a national initiative that supports children and families affected by domestic abuse.
What is Operation Encompass?
Operation Encompass is a confidential partnership between the police and early years settings like ours. It ensures that when police attend incidents of domestic abuse where a child is present, the nursery is notified before the start of the next day.
This allows our team to provide immediate, appropriate support to the child in a safe, familiar environment.
How We Support Children
At Small World Nursery, we:
- Have a trained Key Adult, who is our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and point of contact for Operation Encompass.
- Provide sensitive, tailored support to children who may be affected by domestic incidents.
- Work closely with families and professionals to ensure children feel safe, secure, and supported.
Confidentiality
The information shared with us through Operation Encompass is treated with the utmost confidentiality. Only the DSL and relevant safeguarding staff are informed, and any action taken is in the best interests of the child.
Our Safeguarding Commitment
Operation Encompass is part of our wider safeguarding approach at Small World Nursery. All staff receive regular safeguarding training and are committed to creating a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
