If you require support due to Domestic Abuse please contact Safe in Sussex->here
Domestic Abuse is a ‘cruel and complex crime’ which affects millions of people in our society every year and cuts across all strata of society, across all ages, types of relationship, cultures and races. It is damaging to individuals and to communities, it weakens a country’s economy, reduces productivity and attendance in the workplace, is a public health issue and bleeds into every part of our society. Domestic Abuse diminishes both the perpetrator and the victims. We must all work to achieve the cessation of Domestic Abuse.
Domestic abuse is often a hidden crime that is not reported to the police.
• 'Children exposed to domestic abuse are victims of child abuse.'
• Living with domestic abuse is a children’s rights issue.
Operation Encompass ensures that all domestic abuse incidents with children related to either adult will be shared with the child’s school prior to the start of the next school day. From the inception of Operation Encompass one focus has been our aspiration to end Domestic Abuse. The school will then work with children, families and Children's Services to ensure safeguarding and the protection of children in such circumstances is paramount.
