Child Protection & Complaints Overview

Back to News
15th Oct 2021

Please find attached an overview of the Child Protection and Complaints Procedures - which we provide to parents during Parent Teacher Week.  This year we have been given the opportunity to take part in a pilot project of ‘Operation Encompass’. We are one of around 50 schools taking part in the Downpatrick/Newcastle/Ballynahinch area. Operation Encompass is a partnership between Police and Schools and is aimed at supporting children who are victims of domestic violence.
