Connections Guardianship Gains Gold Standard Accreditation
Connections Guardianship provides guardianship and placement services for international students studying in the UK, predominantly Spanish speaking students.
The lead inspector reported,
“All homestay families are recruited in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance and have detailed contracts. Comprehensive details are collected from them and there is a profile created of the household to share with students and their families. To date, many of the homestay families have come from contacts and friends within the Spanish speaking communities but as the business is growing, further homestay families will need recruiting…
The policies and procedures relating to safeguarding, whistleblowing and associated areas including The Prevent Duty are clear and comprehensive. The company is small and whilst they have the back-up of the documentation, much of the uniqueness of Connections Guardianship is comprised of the close communication that the Director has with the parents, the schools and the homestay families.”
Gold Standard Accreditation is the most prestigious accolade that a guardianship organisation can hold
