Schools in some areas of Northern Ireland have been alerted to domestic abuse more than 2,000 times
The pilot programme enables police officers to inform teachers after they attend a domestic abuse incident in a pupil's homeSchools in some areas of Northern Ireland have been alerted more than 2,000 times in less than two years about pupils affected by domestic violence.Operation Encompass enables police to tell school staff if a pupil has been affected by domestic abuse.The scheme was later extended to cover about 400 other schools in County Down, County Armagh and County Tyrone.
If the PSNI attends a domestic abuse incident where children are present, they will contact the child's school before the next morning to inform the teachers responsible for safeguarding.In a change to the original pilot of the scheme, the PSNI now does not need a parent's consent to report to a school that one of their pupils has been affected by an incident of domestic violence.
A referral to a school can involve more than one pupil, and one incident can result in a referral to more than one school if the children involved go to separate schools. "For so long we have known the impact and the trauma that children experience from seeing, overhearing, coming back into a house where there's been an argument, where there's been a domestic abuse incident."
