About the scheme
The Boarding Schoolsβ Association (BSA) champions boarding and promotes boarding excellence. The BSA is the largest association of boarding schools in the world and represents more than 640 independent and state boarding schools, over 500 of which are based in the UK.
The BSA and our member schools are looking to work with the best educational guardians and our Certiο¬ed Guardian scheme is an assurance of professional quality.
This training and certiο¬cation programme provides assurance to BSA boarding schools that they are dealing with educational guardians who have the highest standards in the safeguarding of children, safer recruitment and training of staο¬ and host families, and careful liaison with parents and schools. The scheme is a clear demonstration to BSA boarding schools of the quality and intention of the educational guardians who reach certiο¬ed status.
