My Guardians uphold the AEGIS Covid-19 Safe Charter.
This Charter serves to advise schools, overseas parents and agents on the response from AEGIS and our member guardianship organisations, like My Guardians, to the COVID-19 pandemic. Guardianship organisations that have adopted the AEGIS Covid-19 Safe Charter confirm that they will comply with government and the UK Health Security Agency guidance whilst supporting international students in the UK.
Pandemics can cause major disruptions to travel and schooling. It is important in such events to take advice from the government, the UK Health Security Agency and the World Health Organisation. AEGIS provides guidance for members to follow. This is regularly updated as a situation develops. Usually, in a pandemic, it is important to restrict movement so as not to spread the disease further. That means boarding school students would usually remain at school. In the event of a pandemic, My Guardians may not be able to offer homestay accommodation as this could place students, homestay families and the wider community at risk. My Guardians will work with parents to find flights to home countries where required. My Guardians will work with schools to meet students' needs during the pandemic. This could be by helping to support students to learn remotely, as directed by the school. My Guardians will work with parents and schools to find suitable quarantine accommodation for students where required.
