Operation Encompass

Operation Encompass, which commenced in April 2015, aims to support children who are affected by domestic abuse. Witnessing domestic abuse is really distressing for a young person, who can often see the abuse, hear it from another room, see a parent’s injuries or distress afterwards or be physically hurt trying to stop the abuse.

East Hoathly has a members of staff (Alice Briley DSL and Kathryn Tucker DDSL) who have been fully trained to liaise with the Police, when required, and will ensure that necessary support is made available to the child following the disclosure of a domestic abuse incident.

There is more information about the project on the website:

NSPCC Speak Out Stay Safe Workshops

Hedgehogs

Hedgehogs spent the morning together and watched the virtual assembly for the NSPCC’s Speak Out and Stay Safe campaign. Following this, we spent some time together talking about what trust means, who the people are that we trust and why we trust them. We also spoke about how in different places we might have different people who we trust, like between home and school or afterschool clubs.

Squirrels

For the NSPCC assembly Squirrel class learnt about the ‘Speak up Speak out’ campaign to keep children safe. Next, the children designed a friend for ‘Buddy’ who could help him support children who needed advice.

Foxes

Foxes children created the Childline number using actions with their hands. This was a simple way we learnt to recite the number.

Owls

On Tuesday 28th of March, Owls class had a visit from some volunteers from the NSPCC. During our workshop we discussed different ways that we can stay safe and the importance of speaking out. We also considered how to stay safe online and the steps that we take to do so. Owls ended the session considering adults that help them feel safe, places they feel safe and items that help to feel safe.
