Each student will have an assigned guardian. This will be the main contact for any support needed while in the UK. Each local coordinator is DBS (police) checked and has level 2 child safeguarding training. The guardian offers 24-hour emergency contact and is the UK based care giver in the parent’s absence.

Each area has a private hire company that guarantees safe and reliable transfers across the UK. These can be arranged in advance with parents’ permission. The costs are deducted from the students’ expenses deposit so no money changes hand between drivers and students.

Students are welcome to stay with one of our police-checked host families at any time. This is arranged through your local guardian. We recruit our families directly and they are all local to schools. All of our host families are inspected annually by the guardian, all members of the family over 16 years old must have a DBS (police) check and an annual gas safety assessment on their boiler. Host families are all given a handbook with the requirements of being a host family.
We want the host family to be your home away from home so we ask you to let us know what type of family you would like to live with. On our application form, there is a section asking for your preference on what type of family you would like your son/daughter to live with. Think of all the choices: Young or old. Quiet or noisy. Sporty. Musical. With or without pets. With or without children at home. Please give us as much information as you can. We will place a maximum of 3 students in to one host family.
Any student under 16 years old who stays with a family for more than 28 days is classed as a foster child and the family and student will have an assigned social worker who will visit the family and our students to make sure the placement is satisfactory.
If at any time you feel uncomfortable in your host family, speak to your local coordinator who will kindly try and find a solution in your current placement. If there feel it is needed, we will change host family without question.
Additionally, if you have a wonderful time with your host family, tell your local coordinator who will offer the same family to you for future dates if the family are available.
