how can Bright World help?
Who can provide me with the correct test?
Bright World has found a company that specialises in travel to China. They have clinics in the UK, that can assist. Depending on where the clinic is, we can find one nearer to a student's school and make sure the timings will work out with their flight departure times.
Parental permission form or email consent
Clinics will ask for parental permission to undertake the test and share details. Bright World will send a link to the form to parents for completion or will assist them to write an email.
How do I travel to the clinic to get a test?
Tests should be booked by overseas parents, as special consents are asked for which we are not qualified to give. Once the test is booked, we can arrange an escorted visit to the clinic. For younger students, our Bright World Buddies and trusted drivers have stayed with the child while they are having the test.
PLEASE NOTE YOU SHOULD TAKE YOUR PASSPORT WITH YOU WHEN HAVING YOUR TESTS AT A CLINIC
We are pleased we have been able to assist and get students home.

Easter, Summer & Christmas 2022
All students enrolled with Bright World Guardianships have the option of staying with a Bright World host family for the full duration of their Easter and Christmas holidays during the pandemic and whilst travel restrictions persist across the globe. Our team of highly trained Care Managers will be able to suggest alternative solutions for students who prefer a residential option.
During the Summer we are recommending that students go on one of our partner Summer courses but please do contact your Guardianship Care Manager if you would prefer for your child to stay with a host family.
