Congratulations to Chestnut and Willow who top the attendance table this week. Well done to everyone throughout the school for keeping our percentage at 96%.

Operation Encompass

The school have been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly between schools and the Metropolitan Police Service. This project is known as Operation Encompass.

Operation Encompass is the notification to schools that a child (under 18) has been exposed to, or involved in, any domestic incident. Children can be significantly physically or emotionally harmed when this is the case and the information received will be used to make sure the right support is available for the children and their families. This will ordinarily be done by the start of the next school day.

Operation Encompass will ensure that specially trained member of school staff, known as Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), is informed. The DSL can then use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to ensure the wellbeing of the child.  
At Broadford the Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Nicholls (Headteacher) the Deputy Safeguarding Leads are Mrs Wallis (Assistant Headteacher and SENCo) and Ms Perkins (Home School Support Worker). Any of these members of staff will be able to help you regarding any safeguarding enquiries.

As a school we will be able to make provisions or adjustments to assist for any difficulties experienced by the child, or the families involved.

We are keen to offer the best support possible to all of our pupils and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.

If you have any questions then please contact one of our school’s Designated Safeguarding Leads and we will be happy to discuss this further.
