The Guardian Family Network Ltd

服務簡介

The Guardian Family Network Ltd (GNet) was established in 2013, providing invaluable support to international students. We work across the whole of the UK, trusting the 70+ schools we have partnerships with to care for the educational needs of our students.

The GNet team are dedicated to communicating in a timely manner, liaising between our partner agencies, schools and homestay families to ensure that our students receive the best academic and pastoral support whilst they are studying in the UK. Our bespoke services include production of financial estimates and statements, payment of school bills and other associated costs, making travel arrangements, assistance with purchasing of school uniforms and handling of day to day issues occurring within normal school life. Our Homestay families are committed to providing a home away from home for their students. We carefully match all of our students' backgrounds, interests and ages to that of their Homestay families, giving them the best chance of stability and happiness while in the UK. All of our Homestay families are personally visited, approved by parents, are DBS checked and live within a 1-hour radius of the school. Settling into a new environment can be even more difficult when those around you do not understand your culture. Homestay families are thoroughly supported through their time with us and have an appreciation of the cultures of the students they are welcoming into their homes. This mutual cultural development of not just the students but of the Homestay families, allows UK families to enjoy and learn about perceptions, traditions and values of other countries.

The safeguarding of our students is of paramount importance to the company. As guardianship is an unregulated industry, it is crucial to choose an agency that is accredited. We are certified members of the Boarding Schools Association and accredited by AEGIS, an independent body working to support all international students at schools in the UK.

常見問題

1. Leaving the decision to the last minute and therefore not carrying out adequate research on the options available.
2. Having an informal arrangement with a family friend who is unaware of the significant commitment involved.
3. Appointing an individual who is located a long way away from school and therefore unable to attend events such as parents' evenings, on behalf of parents.
4. Signing up to a Guardianship organisation that does not recognise your child as an individual and therefore does not provide a service specifically to their needs.
5. Having an arrangement in place that does not allow for emergencies, leading to undue stress to parents and the child.

What is an emergency?

Perhaps a flight is delayed or arrives at a difficult time; maybe there are medical issues; a student's behaviour warrants a 'cooling off' period out of school; or perhaps there is a malfunction in the school itself such as a break-down in the central heating.

Apart from emergencies, a good educational guardian will take an interest in the child's development and progress, as well as supporting the school's pastoral care. They provide a home-from-home environment for the student's exeat and half-term holiday stays – and sometimes over the Christmas and Easter breaks as well. They attend parent/teacher meetings and report back to the parents as well as generally monitoring the academic and social development of the student in their care. The school has someone who acts as a link between them, the child, and the parent and who is an independent listener. At the same time the parents have confidence that if their child needs help or advice, someone is at the end of the telephone, email, or text to help support, encourage and advise their child in their absence.
