Guardianship
A trusted guardian in the UK: academic matters, wellbeing and care while your child studies away from home.
The first consultation is free
British schools require international pupils to have a guardian in the UK — an adult responsible for the child when parents are not nearby.
We handle communication with the school, weekends and holidays, meetings and transfers, help when a child is unwell — everything that lets parents feel at ease.

- An official guardian for the school
- Liaison with the school: reports, parents' evenings, academic questions
- Weekends, exeats and half-terms with a vetted host family
- Airport transfers
- Help in illness and emergencies, a 24/7 phone line
- Regular updates for parents
Who it's for
