At Burnside Primary School, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to rigorous Safer Recruitment practices across all staff, governor, and volunteer appointments.

In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education, all applicants undergo thorough background checks prior to appointment. This includes enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, identity and qualification verification, online background checks, and detailed reference checks.

We ensure that every adult working within our school community shares our unwavering commitment to keeping children safe, smart, and kind in a secure and nurturing environment.
