Operation Endeavour

Operation Endeavour is a project in which schools in Northumberland participate, working in partnership with Northumberland County Council and Northumbria Police.  

Operation Endeavour which commenced in November 2018, aims to support children and young people who go missing from home.  Children who go missing from home are at risk of significant harm and they may be vulnerable to sexual exploitation, violent crime, gang exploitation, or to drug and alcohol misuse. 

As a result, following any report of a child going missing to the Police, the Police will make contact with Children’s Social Care who will then communicate relevant and necessary information to nominated school staff.
