New standard for guardianship for UK boarding schools

22 Apr 24

5th September 2022 was a very proud day for guardianship and for AEGIS. The new Minimum Standards for Boarding for 2022 were published and for the very first time educational guardianship has its own standard – Standard 22.  Moreover, AEGIS is referenced within the standard as a recognised organisation for schools to consult and refer to when looking at good practice.

This means that if parents choose an AEGIS-accredited guardian, the school does not need to do any further checks on the arrangements being made for their international students in the school holidays and they know that their welfare is being prioritised at all times, not just when they are in school.
