Why Choose Us
Choosing a guardian is one of the most important decisions a family makes when sending a child to study in the UK. It is the person a school calls first, the household a student goes to at half term, and the point of contact when something is urgent.
Accredited and accountable
British Guardianship is an accredited guardianship company, working with boarding schools, colleges and universities across the UK. Our accreditations and partnerships are listed on our Accreditations & Partners page, and the standards we hold ourselves to are published in full under Our Policies.
Support that is close to the student
Guardianship only works when someone is genuinely reachable. We combine a named point of contact for the family with host families and coordinators near the student's school, so arrangements can be made quickly and in person when they need to be.
One team for the whole journey
Many of the families we work with need more than guardianship alone — school or university placement, help preparing for arrival, and support once term begins. As part of the Study First Group, we can look after each stage rather than handing families between providers. You can read more about what to expect from us.
