Child Guardianship
Child Guardianship
Overseas parents should be aware that each child receiving full-time education in the UK or Ireland for more than 12 weeks must have a legally appointed guardian. The UK Border Agency provides full details of all requirements for those wishing to study in Britain, including guardianship.
A guardian may be a relative such as an aunt, an adult sibling or a grandparent, or a family friend, but many parents choose to find a guardian with the assistance of a professional agency, such as Gabbitas Educational Consultants.
