Safeguarding children is taken extremely seriously at Telford Infant School. Every adult working in school, including volunteers, is required to undertake relevant police checks prior to starting work. This involves a DBS check. We have clear procedures to make sure that children are safe and secure at all times.

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy which can be accessed by clicking on this link:

OPERATION ENCOMPASS

Telford Infant School works in partnership with Warwickshire Police and Warwickshire Children’s Services to support pupils who are affected by incidents of domestic violence and abuse through a scheme is called Operation Encompass.

When the Police attend any incident of domestic violence or abuse in any household in which a pupil of the school lives, Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) receive a confidential and secure Email on the morning of the next school day, notifying them that there has been an incident and that the child may need support.

On receipt of any such notification, DSLs ensure that teachers and other staff directly in contact with affected children support them with due kindness, care and sensitivity. In addition to supporting children, the process means that the school is also in a position to offer parents and carers support as appropriate.

The information provided to the school is managed and stored with the utmost sensitivity and discretion consistent with all other confidential safeguarding records.
