Oxford Guardians Ltd Passes Gold Standard Re-Accreditation

The lead inspector reported,

“Oxford Guardians Ltd is a well-established and experienced guardianship organisation. Their aim is to provide a personalised and bespoke experience for each of their students. The Director and founder has a wealth of expertise in education and, as well as the expected welfare services, can offer key educational advice as well…

Keeping the students safe is of paramount importance to Oxford Guardians Ltd. There are three key staff trained to level 3 in safeguarding, one of whom is the Designated Safeguarding Lead and the other two can deputise if necessary. Host families are required to re-do their safeguarding training every three years in line with the AEGIS standards. An annual meeting is held for all host families, generally in August, where safeguarding updates and reminders are shared.”

Gold Standard Accreditation is the most prestigious accolade that a guardianship organisation can hold.
