- Safeguarding
At Berkeley Primary School all of the staff have a duty of care for our children and are committed to keeping our children safe. We follow statutory guidance and all concerns are recorded promptly so that we can support children and families. You will see this sign around our school; it gives staff information on who they can talk to if they have concerns.
