WELFARE

The welfare of our homestay and residential students is our prime concern, from the moment they arrive in the UK until they return home. To ensure that our students are safe, happy and cared for during their stay we have a ratio of 1 member of staff to every 10 students and provide supervision for our students around the clock. The centres have two first-aid trained staff available at all times. There is also a doctor’s surgery near each centre.
