Guardianship

Connections Aims, Principles and Code of Practice

At Connections, our main aim is to ensure the safety and welfare of all our students during their time in the UK, whilst having an enjoyable time and reaching their full potential.

We are here to make sure that the students are happy and safe and that their parents have full confidence that we are there to support them and their children with anything they need during their stay.

We know and understand the English educational system and we have a fantastic network of contacts in schools, making us the ideal connection between parents and schools.

Parents and students are given an emergency phone number which is available 24/7.

Getting The Best Guardianship for Your Child

Boarding schools in the UK require overseas children to have an “Educational Guardian”. Not only does Connections help place your child in the right school but we can also act as educational guardians for your child during their time in the UK. Connections offers educational guardianship only to those children whom we have placed in schools.

For parents who are living overseas, it is important to know that your child is well cared for and at Connections that’s our top priority!

The schools we work with will liaise with Connections in all matters relating to their care.

• We help with the purchase of uniform and other equipment.
• We organise all transfers for when they need to travel to and from school (the cost depends on the distance).
• We constantly keep in contact with schools and parents.
• We have a network of host families, whom we know personally, if needed for exeat weekends.
• We are always on call to assist with any worries that parents or schools might have.
