BSA Family Guardian Scheme

Although many international students reside with BSA Certified Guardians or the equivalent during exeats and half terms, many live with family members or family friends. This presents a potential safeguarding and compliance risk.

To provide peace of mind, BSA has introduced a BSA Certified Family Guardian Scheme.

For an introductory price starting at £199 + VAT per guardian, invoiced to the sponsor school, BSA will:

• Facilitate an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check
• Provide online training on the responsibilities of a guardian and an overview of safeguarding responsibilities
• Issue a certificate confirming the host is a BSA Certified Family Guardian upon completion of the above steps
• Provide access to ongoing advice and support

This will enable schools to demonstrate compliance with National Minimum Standard (NMS) 22, due diligence to UKVI, and reassure parents they take the safeguarding of international students seriously.
