There is an initial non-refundable registration fee of £250 and the guardianship fee is payable in advance. Your child must also have a Student Expense Account to enable Guardians UK to pay for any optional services and for emergencies eg. airport transfers, Host Family stays and pocket money. We require at least £1200 at the start and regular top-ups when the balance falls below £500. Any money remaining in this account at the end of your child’s stay with Guardians UK will be refunded to you, having deducted any outstanding fees or expenses.
*These services involve external agencies and therefore incur costs which will be taken directly from the Student Expense Account. Host family stays cost between £70 and £95 per night depending on location and reason for stay.
If you require a service not available in your child’s package, an additional minimum £50 charge will be made.
If your child is under 13 years of age they need to opt for the Platinum or Premium package to ensure appropriate care and support.
If your child is not registered with Guardians UK but needs to make use of our services, you will need to complete a temporary registration form and there will be a £250 administration fee on each occasion our services are used.
