Bright World present...BLINK!



To help improve our communication with clients overseas, Managing Director, Lana Foster has created BLINK, along with a local design agency and has recently employed Operations & Implementation Director, Avril Griffin to train the Head Office team before the new portal goes live later on this month.  

 " Director of Operations and Implementation " 

Avril has come to us after 18 years of global experience in the International education industry. This includes her work for Study Group where Avril was instrumental to the building of International Study Centers at various Universities across the globe. Her extensive knowledge in our sector and specifically in operation systems, will be of paramount relevance when BLINK goes live!
So what will this change mean for you the Host Family?
 
Once the system goes live we will be looking at building a unique BLINK page for all Host Families in phase 2. Soon you will be able to access all the details relating to the students that you will Host. This information will include a detailed itinerary for the year ahead, along with all the important documents like the Host Family Charter, Host Family Handbook and information and advice on how to recognise Child Protection and Safeguarding issues. You will also be able to login and tell us when you are unavailable or when you are taking your summer holiday.  
" 
Following many years of change and growth at Bright World there has been

much development of the Access system as its functionality changes to keep pace with the needs of the business.
"

 "
Moving to a web based system will offer us more flexibility in how we interact

with our customers and each other. Once launched new developments can be

rolled out as needed, making us more responsive to the needs of the business and our customers.
