Oxenhope CE Primary School
Oxenhope CE Primary School is part of the ‘Domestic violence and abuse school notification project’ (Operation Encompass), run jointly between schools and West Yorkshire Police.
The project aims to support children who are resident in households where there are incidents of domestic violence and abuse. We know that children can be significantly physically or emotionally hurt by being either present in the house or directly witnessing an incident of domestic violence.
The Domestic violence and abuse school notification project has been designed to provide confidential notification to schools on any incidents of domestic violence and abuse which occur within a child’s household that might have an impact on a child whilst they are in school.
The project will ensure that a member of the school safeguarding team can ensure that the school is able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in or witnessed a domestic violence or abuse incident.
We are keen to offer the best support possible to our pupils and we believe this is extremely beneficial for all those involved.
Help for parents and carers –
We are dedicated to support parents and carers if they are victims of domestic violence. We work closely with Thrive and Survive. Bradford Survive and Thrive is an exciting and innovative new multi-agency partnership bringing together 3 organisations, Family Action, Staying Put and Women’s Centre Limited. These organisations are working together to develop a one system approach to families affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence.
If you are experiencing or have experienced Domestic Violence in the past, please come and speak to Mrs Jones and/or our pastoral team – we are hear to listen and support.
