What is a guardian?

 

A guardian as used herein refers to an educational guardian in the UK who, with the parent's consent, takes care of a child on behalf of the parent while the child leaves the parent and studies in the UK. The guardian must be an adult resident in the UK.

 

Our guardianship services include:

 

•   Regular contact

 

Edugo Guardian will make regular contact with students, parents and schools. If a problem arises, the Edugo Guardian will try to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

 

Edugo Guardian provides Wechat / Kakaotalk/or Whatsapp accounts to students and families for effective communication.

 

•   In case of emergency

 

We will immediately visit the school to help the student and notify the student's parents as soon as possible. Emergency contacts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in case of an emergency.

Students studying at UK schools for more than six months are eligible for free medical treatment under the National Health Service (NHS). English boarding schools usually have a school nurse or a matron, and their day-to-day medical help is handled at the school. However, if serious health problems occur, the school or host family will use the local NHS doctor.

 

•   Non-NHS medical care

 

If a student needs treatment that is not covered by the NHS, Edugo Guardian will arrange for an appropriate treatment at an additional cost, notify the student's parent in advance, and the student's parents will pay for the student's treatment.

 

•   School Parent Meeting

​

Our Guardian team will attend school’s parents' evening and attend school events such as school awards, school concerts, school plays and sports days, if necessary. Such a case may be considered a regular school visit or may be made in agreement with the parent in advance.

​

•   Transportation

​

Edugo Guardian helps to provide transportation within the UK. If the school or host family provides transportation, contact the student, the parent and the school, or the host family for student safety.

​

•   Airport pick-up and Unaccompanied Minor service

 

The Edugo Guardian will arrange the student pick-up from the UK airport and takes them to their destination (school boarding or homestay) by Edugo Guardian staff or a person who is appointed by Edugo Guardian and who is DBS checked.
