In conjunction with Merseyside Police, Castleway is involved in an initiative called Operation Encompass.

The purpose of Operation Encompass is to safeguard and support children and young people who have been involved in, heard, or witnessed a domestic abuse incident.

Following such an incident, children can arrive at school distressed, upset, worried and unprepared. Operation Encompass aims to ensure that appropriate school staff (called key adults) are made aware early enough to support children and young people in a way that means they feel safe and included.

At Castleway, our key adults are Stuart Mycroft, Georgi Dalby and Joan McCarthy. 

Mr. Mycroft, Miss Dalby and Mrs. McCarthy are Castleway's Designated Safeguarding Leads.

This is a valuable initiative that means we can continue to support and help children and families within our school community when they need it most. You can find out more by visiting www.operationencompass.org or by contacting one of our key adults.
