AEGIS accreditation follows a comprehensive process involving a detailed inspection of a number of areas of the organisation, including:
· Company structure, staff screening, and contracts;
· Host family selection and screening;
· Training and development;
· Driver screening and transportation safety;
· Comprehensive information for parents, students, schools, and overseas agents; and
· Robust policies, compliance, insurance, and risk mitigation.
The scrupulous standards set by AEGIS and the thoroughness of their inspection processes demonstrate the significance of an organisation earning AEGIS Gold Standard Accreditation.
At Bright World, we are staunchly dedicated to upholding these high standards. Every aspect of guardianship, from host family selection and training and data protection, is meticulously managed to ensure every student receives the highest possible standard of care and support during their educational journey in the UK.
Guardianship organisations are re-inspected by AEGIS every four years. In between inspections, Bright World constantly reviews its standards against the AEGIS handbook which is updated at least twice per year. Our next inspection is due in June 2029.
