uin	HL2555
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2024 answer text <p>Operation Encompass is currently active in all 43 police forces across England and Wales. Implemented on a voluntary basis by police forces, the scheme works by directly connecting the police with schools. When officers have attended a domestic abuse incident, police share the information with a school’s trained Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) before the start of the next school day, so that appropriate support can be given at the earliest possible opportunity.</p><p>Aligned with police forces’ operational independence, each police force operates the scheme differently, in terms of the notification pathway and which institutions receive notifications. Importantly, the scheme does not discriminate on what type of schools these notifications should be sent to.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 04/03/2024 17:40:04 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom
