St Osmund’s has been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly between schools and Wiltshire Police: ENCOMPASS is the reporting to schools, by the next school day, when a child or young person has been affected by a domestic incident.
ENCOMPASS will ensure that a member of the school staff, known as a Key Adult, will be shared the information in confidence, while ensuring that the school is able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in, affected or exposed to a domestic abuse incident.
We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our pupils and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.
____________________
A prayer for our school and it's children
May the doors of this school be wide enough to receive all who come seeking God, fellowship and learning.
May the doors of this school be narrow enough to shut out pettiness and pride, envy and enmity.
May the threshold of this school be no stumbling block to young feet.
May the threshold of this school be too high to admit complacency and self-seeking.
May this school be, for all who enter, a safe place and the doorway to a richer life in Christ.
