Safeguarding

Safeguarding is ‘everyone’s responsibility’. The school's Safeguarding policy sets out Amwell View School and Specialist Sports College responsibilities under the Children Act 2004 to ensure children, young people and adults at risk are kept safe from harm.

Operation Encompass

Amwell View School and Specialist Sports College is a part of Operation Encompass.

Operation Encompass is a national police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people who experience Domestic Violence and Abuse and which is in place in every police force in England and Wales.

Children were recognised as victims of domestic abuse in their own right in the 2021 Domestic Abuse Act.

Operation Encompass means that the police will share information with our school about all police attended Domestic Abuse incidents which involve any of our children PRIOR to the start of the next school day. There is more information about Operation Encompass in the school's Safeguarding Policy p.12.
