John Dunstan, Chairman, AEGIS ” meet some of the Bright World Head Office team who will be helping you to take care of your child while they study in the UK Bright World Guardianships Bright World Guardianships Ltd and its sister company, Bright World Education Ltd, were founded in 2000. Our role is to help overseas students to find the right place at a British school, college, or university and then to care for them while they are here as their UK based guardian. James & Lana Claire Taylor Foster Director of Directors Safeguarding & Operations Over the years our team of education specialists has helped hundreds of international students join the British education system and go onto top UK universities to complete their education. If you are sending your son or daughter to a UK boarding school, then you will be asked by the school and the authorities to provide the name of a UK based guardian who is responsible for your child as you are not living in the UK. Parents who do not have a friend or family member who live in the UK often turn to the services of a guardianship organisation such as Bright World Guardianships. As guardians, our vision has always been to create an elite guardian service that far exceeds the expectations of parents and their children. In doing so we have established an excellent reputation among the many UK boarding schools with whom we work. We can offer guardianship to students in many areas of the UK. Unlike many other guardianship organisations, we are fully accredited by AEGIS (Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students). This means our practises and processes have been thoroughly inspected and audited by this important organisation and we can therefore guarantee that we will act in your child’s best interest at all times. In 2013 we were also proud to be awarded Bronze Partner status by Child Safe International after a rigorous audit of our safeguarding and child protection standards. We are now very close to achieving Silver Partner status due to the improvements we have continued to make in our safeguarding standards since then. where we offer guardianship Scotland and our team
