Bright World - Trustworthy and Reliable UK Guardianship


Bright World Guardianship - Trustworthy and Reliable UK Guardianship
When parents make the important decision to invest in an overseas education for their child, they are offering them a unique opportunity and a life changing experience. It is vital, therefore, that the whole experience is a positive one and as trouble free as possible. It is important that the academic aims of the student are not impeded by day to day worries and problems. As well as school advice and placement, Bright World has a guardianship service offered by a select team of experienced and caring individuals.

Our Guardianship Programme is a service offered to students at UK boarding schools in the Sussex, Surrey and Kent areas.

Why choose our Guardianship Programme?
The majority of UK boarding schools require all overseas pupils to have a UK based guardian.
A Bright World guardian will ensure that all the needs of your child are met and offers parents peace of mind and security in the knowledge that there is always someone there to give a helping hand. Our Guardianship programme offers a total care package from day one of a student’s stay in the UK and throughout their study period. An important part of our job is to find a host family for your child during holiday times when they have to leave school. Our host families are all very carefully chosen, regularly visited and police checked.

What is included in the Bright World Guardianship Programme?
• Assistance with application to school or college
• Liaison with school to ensure safe transfer of student to and from airport
• Arrival report to parents including initial academic and welfare information
• 24 hour emergency telephone assistance
• One visit to the student in the first term followed by a full academic and welfare report
• Assistance with travel and accommodation arrangements for visiting parents
• Ongoing day to day liaison between the school, the student and the parents
• Half term and holiday arrangements

Additional guardianship services can be made available at an extra charge. These may include:

“ We act as your personal representative and will speak on your behalf. Our guardian students can rely on us as an independent friend – someone they can go to for advice and help.”
