Our Safeguarding Team

We are part of a project that runs jointly between school and West Midlands Police called Operation Encompass.  Operation Encompass is a strategy used to inform schools when a child or young person has been exposed to, or involved in, any domestic incident.  Following an incident, the relevant information is shared with school by 8.30am the next day and a key adult from school liaises with the local authority . By knowing this information,  we are able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have been involved in, or exposed to, a domestic abuse incident and offer support or guidance as appropriate

If you or anyone you know is affected by domestic abuse you can seek help through the schools Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mr Wayne McDonald on 0121 557 1511, email: wayne.mcdonald@sacredheartpri.com or through Sandwell Women’s aid who can be reached on 0121 552 6448 

The Dog, Duck and Cat Trust

Dear Parents/Carers/Guardians

Please check out the link below for Dog, Duck and Cat resources for you to access at home free of charge. Why not have a look? The Dog, Duck and Cat Trust want to help you teach your child about some of the things in their world that could potentially cause them some bother. Children have accidents, that’s just a fact of life, but if we can cut down their opportunities to hurt themselves then we can help keep them out of emergency departments, or worse! We also want to help them to develop their core skills, skills that will be needed by them today and for the rest of their lives. We want them to understand what good friendships and relationships are, to know how they can help themselves, and, know when they should seek help from a trusted adult.
