What the AEGIS inspection team said about English Plus Guardianship

Care is taken to ensure that the needs of the students under the organisations’ guardianship are fully understood and catered for. The importance of safeguarding is fully understood, and appropriate policies and procedures are in place to help keep students safe, including checks on homestays and the accommodation offered. The guardianship organisation acts as an important link between the home and school, helping with translation and communication. Staff respond to students requests in order that their time in the UK is as pleasant as possible, for example they have shopped for desired snacks for students during the pandemic, arranged haircuts and ensured that they have the correct uniform. They have responded efficiently to the added pressures caused by the pandemic, including arranging
tests prior to taking flights home. English Plus Guardianship is found to meet the AEGIS
requirements and they are warmly welcomed as Preliminary Members.
