FAQ'S
How Are Host Families Selected?
All families and homes are personally inspected by Mrs Sharp and all guardians are police checked to ensure there is compliance with the 'child safe' benchmark and the Protection of Children Act 1999.
Clear and appropriate guidelines are provided for the guardians to ensure the safety, welfare and happiness of the student.
In addition the home must be warm and welcoming and provide an environment where the individual can relax, study and have the opportunity to pursue hobbies and interests.
