Operation Encompass

Our school in now part of a new operation within in Luton that is jointly run by Bedfordshire Police and Luton Children’s Social Care, called Operation Encompass.

Operation Encompass has been designed to provide early reporting to schools of any domestic abuse incidents that occur in which a child/children are present. The information provided will be child’s name, date of birth and location of the incident. We know that children can be significantly affected through witnessing or being exposed to domestic abuse, this will allow us to better support our pupils and families.

A nominated member of staff known as a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) is identified to receive this information. At Foxdell Primary this is Mrs Nisar (Headteacher and Designated Safeguarding Lead) and Mrs A Ahmed (Family Worker and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead). The information is shared in confidence will ensure the right support is available should it been required by a child or family.

If you have any concerns, questions or feel that you may require support please contact Mrs Nisar or Mrs Ahmed.

Promoting British Values

We believe in promoting British Values and as part of our safeguarding and child protection duties we support the government's Prevent Strategy. The duty requires all schools and specified organisations to uphold and promote the fundamental values (referred to as British Values) of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. 

All schools are subject to a duty under Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, to have 'due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism'. This duty is known as the Prevent Duty for Schools.
