Why Do I Need a Guardian?
Most UK boarding schools require students whose families live overseas to have an officially appointed guardian based in the UK. A guardian ensures there is always someone available to support your child — from emergencies to everyday needs — providing peace of mind for both parents and the school.
Can My Friend Be a Guardian?
While a trusted friend or relative may care for your child, most schools do not recommend this. Professional guardianship involves a deep understanding of the British education system, school procedures, and constant availability. Choosing a BSA-accredited company ensures your child receives reliable, compliant, and expert care throughout their time in the UK.
Who Will Be My Child’s Guardian?
Once you register, we assign an experienced staff member as your child’s dedicated guardian. You’ll receive their full contact details, including home address and mobile number. If you ever feel the assigned guardian isn’t the right fit, we can arrange a replacement — offering flexibility that private arrangements can’t provide.
How Do I Keep in Touch With the Guardian?
From the moment you register, you’ll have direct contact details for your guardian, including an emergency mobile number available 24/7. Whether for urgent matters or regular updates, you can always reach us when needed.
