Our Approach
At Salutem Care and Education, the safety and wellbeing of our pupils and students is our highest priority. Every member of staff receives regular safeguarding training, and we have several trained Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) to ensure there is always someone available to discuss and respond to any concerns.

Operation Encompass
In conjunction with Merseyside Police, Cavendish View School is involved in an initiative called Operation Encompass. The purpose of Operation Encompass is to safeguard and support children and young people who have been involved in, heard, or witnessed a domestic abuse incident. Following such an incident, children may arrive at school distressed, upset, worried, and unprepared. Operation Encompass aims to ensure that appropriate school staff on the Safeguarding Team are made aware early enough to support children and young people in a way that means they feel safe and included.
This is a valuable initiative that means we can continue to support and help children and families within our school community when they need it the most.
You can find out more by visiting www.operationencompass.org or by contacting Louise Kelly, Designated Safeguarding Lead.
Salutem Care & Education Safety Standards
Salutem Care & Education schools and colleges benefit from a strong, proactive approach to safety. Regular audits are carried out by both our governance and regional teams to ensure every site is fully supported in maintaining the highest standards of safety.
We achieve this in the following ways:
- Best practice is shared across the whole organisation, ensuring consistency and high standards in every school and college.
- Adjustments and improvements are made in response to the regular cycle of quality, health and safety, and fire audits.
- These audits are carried out by a team of both internal and external experts, ensuring rigorous oversight and the highest standards of safety.
- We respond promptly to any changes in legislation or guidance, ensuring our practices remain fully compliant and up to date.
- We take a robust and transparent approach to managing incidents and complaints, ensuring thorough investigations and appropriate action are taken.
- Improvements are implemented at a local level and, where necessary, across all services, ensuring that lessons learned from incident and complaint investigations lead to meaningful change.
