Operation Encompass enables the school's safeguarding lead to then make provision for possible difficulties experienced by pupils, or their families, affected by a domestic abuse incident.
Nuala O'Rourke, head of service at Stockport Council's safeguarding unit, says the Greater Manchester Police-led scheme involves a "very early email" to schools to share information about incidents.
