We provide a high-quality, compassionate educational guardianship service to students throughout the UK
Most schools and universities in the UK will require a UK guardian for students under 18. The guardian should be a responsible adult who, when necessary, can act in an emergency on behalf of the parents. Our guardians are experienced and trustworthy, providing care and academic support to students and parents during emergencies, illness and school holidays.
Special Events
We often hold special events for our students. Every summer we host a meet and greet with newly onboarded students and families, treating them to a traditional British afternoon tea. Students meet their guardians in the flesh, who give them a presentation on how to thrive and survive in the UK, answering their burning questions and resolving any unsettled worries. By the end of the day, parents feel empowered enough to leave their beloved children knowing they were safe and well cared for!
School Guardianship
As a parent, you need to know your child is safe and cared for whilst they live and study in a foreign country. Our school guardianship programme meets the requirements of UK visas and schools and is AEGIS accredited, ensuring your child’s wellbeing is taken care of.
Packages and Prices
We offer three guardianship packages to suit the needs of parents and students.
- We Care Gold
- We Care A+

How to Apply
The application process is straightforward. Complete the relevant guardianship booking form and email your documents with a copy of the student’s passport information page. Payment can be made by direct bank transfer or Flywire.
University Guardianship
University students under 18 need a parent or a legal guardian in the UK. Even though they may seem mature, legally, they are classed as minors. As such, universities require students living alone abroad to nominate an Educational Guardian.
Camps
UKG organises trips and residentials for students who study and choose to stay in the UK during half-term and shorter school holidays. Our Guardianship team arranges and supervises these, which range from university-hopping trips, hackathons and themed camps, with themes including Entrepreneurship, art and design, and writing and storytelling!
Handbooks and Policies
We have the following handbooks that can be downloaded.
