AEGIS Guardianship: our AEGIS inspection report

Bright World is honoured to hold AEGIS Gold Standard Accreditation, the highest accreditation standard available for guardianships in the UK. This status was gained as the result of a rigorous independent inspection.

Accreditation is a stamp of approval from an impartial, external governing body, and is crucial for any organisation in any field. Bright World is passionate about doing our part to inform parents of what the AEGIS accreditation means and of the importance of choosing an AEGIS accredited guardian for your child.

AEGIS (Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students) is the sole independent accreditation body for UK guardianships. AEGIS follows a rigorous independent inspection and accreditation process to assess the quality and standard of care of guardianship organisations across the UK.

AEGIS’ purpose is to safeguard the welfare of international students studying in the UK and ensure they feel safe, welcome, and cared for. This also provides peace of mind to parents that children studying alongside AEGIS accredited guardianship organisations will receive the very highest standard of care.

Bright World is one of the UK's leading Guardianship Organisations and has placed thousands of students into UK boarding schools since its foundation. Bright World operates from its Head Office in Sussex, UK, and has over 30 local coordinators across the UK.

With over 25 years' experience of working with students and host families, we are particularly proud of our ability to match students with host families successfully. We listen to parents when they enrol and throughout their guardianship stay and we also listen to students. By gaining information on their likes and dislikes, food preferences, and looking at their age and the profile of the host family, we consistently get it right.

Unlike many other guardianship organisations, we are proud to have AEGIS Gold Standard Accreditation, meaning our practises and processes have been thoroughly inspected and audited, enabling us to guarantee parents that we will act in your child’s best interests at all times and that students will receive the very highest standard of care under our guardianship.
