your guardianship journey starts here

Educational guardianship is a person or company in the UK who acts for overseas parents while their child studies here.

All UK boarding schools require overseas parents to appoint a responsible adult or organisation to act as educational guardian to their child. Universities also require a UK guardian for the under 17s.

The Bright World Guardianship programme offers a choice of programmes to suit all needs.

• Our Head Office team are fully trained and offer a liaison service between parents and schools.
• Our Local Coordinators are there to visit and offer extra support to our students face to face.
• Our host families provide a home from home for boarding school students who are not travelling back to their country for the holidays.
• Our professional drivers provide reliable airport transfers.
• Our Emergency 24/7 email and phone line offers an invaluable service to all overseas parents, students and schools.

Parents who do not need a host family or travel services can opt for our Essential guardianship package.

With Bright World, you can be assured of a safe and reliable service that suits your specific needs.
