Guardianship

At BSI UK, we offer trusted guardianship for international students attending boarding schools, colleges, and universities across the UK. We act as your local partner to ensure your child is safe, supported, and successful.

%%Who%% Needs a Guardian?

If your child is under 18 and studying in the UK, most schools and immigration guidelines require a UK-based guardian. We act in loco parentis on your behalf when you cannot be present. From the moment of arrival, we ensure each student is welcomed, oriented, and fully equipped to settle into their new environment. We assist with practical matters such as setting up mobile phones, registering with a local GP, and organising travel or accommodation during school breaks. We act as a trusted link between the family and the school — attending meetings when needed, monitoring academic progress, and providing regular updates to parents.

Our guardianship services include:

  • 24/7 emergency support
  • welcome visit to school with student/family
  • help with uniform ordering throughout the studies
  • arrangement of host family accommodation (weekends, holidays, emergencies)
  • school liaison and academic progress updates
  • attendance at parent-teacher meetings
  • emergency medical care arrangements
  • arrangement of transfers and travel support

Sending your child abroad for their studies is a big step, and we understand that it can be both exciting and challenging. Being far from home means your child might miss the comfort of family and their usual support networks. That's why having a UK-based guardian is not just a formality; it's a crucial support system for your child during their time here.


With over 20 years of experience, we take immense pride in offering top-notch, personalised guardianship tailored specifically for international families. Our commitment is to provide you with peace of mind, while nurturing a safe and supportive environment for your child. Together, let's make this journey a remarkable experience!
