Safeguarding
At Holy Cross we have measures in place to ensure protection of the health, wellbeing and human rights of the children in our care.
Holy Cross has a duty of care to its young people.
Safeguarding is a fundamental responsibility. It encompasses protecting individuals at risk from all forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect. All staff receive training to recognise indicators of abuse and are required to report concerns promptly to the designated safeguarding lead or relevant authorities to ensure timely intervention and support for those affected.
Operation Encompass
As part of our commitment to keeping children safe, we are proud to be part of Operation Encompass.
Operation Encompass is a unique Police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people exposed to domestic abuse.
Being part of Encompass means our school will receive a notification from the Police before the start of the next school day when a child or young person has been involved in or exposed to a domestic abuse incident the previous day. The information is given in confidence to the schools Key Adult and will enable us to provide the best possible support for the child.
