New Host Family Charter

Bright World Host Family Charter

As many of you may already know, following our plans to invest in improving our Safeguarding and Child Protection precautions, we have developed a new Host Family Charter. 

  

This year we have been focusing on changing, modifying and developing our systems for Safeguarding & Child Protection purposes. The Host Family Charter is the latest development which we hope will outline the role which you are expected to fill as a Bright World Host Family.

   

We simply ask that you first buy into our Safeguarding missions statement that secondly you offer your commitment once you have said yes to hosting and lastly that you maintain good lines of communication with the team at Head Office.  

Please see a copy of the Charter below and email Brian with any concerns questions.

The Host Family Charter can also be accessed via the secure Family zone on our website.

More On Us

  

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."
