SGS Forest High School Safeguarding at Berkeley Green UTC
Keeping young people safe is our main priority. All UTC staff have a continuing responsibility to promote the welfare of the young people we teach and protect them from harm.
On this page, you will find details about how we safeguard students, both when working in the UTC and learning from home, and how to access additional information and support.
For young people, it also provides information about different scenarios including those students may encounter when working from home.
Our key principle is: if in doubt, speak out. If you have a concern of any kind, please do not hesitate to contact us at gareth.lister@berkeleygreenutc.org.uk.
