AEGIS (Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students) is the only independent body in the UK that puts guardianship organisations through a rigorous inspection process.

This means that all AEGIS accredited guardianship organisations have passed a full inspection of their care of students and their business practices, so you can be sure your child will be in safe hands.

With an AEGIS accreditated guardianship organization you can benefit from:

  • They will stay in regular contact with you, your child and the school and will attend Parent-Teacher meetings on your behalf. 

  • They will have a member of staff who is contactable 24 hours a day, ready to deal with any problems or emergencies. 

  • They will arrange a homestay for your child during holidays, or term-time if necessary, which has been carefully vetted.
