Bright World Guardianships: We Have to Put the Child at the Centre of Everything

Lana Foster, Managing Director of Bright World Guardianships, joins us in conversation. 
Recorded in February, Lana talks about her niche line of work, which is to ensure that international students who come here to study in the UK, are supported appropriately and adequately, especially with their mental and emotional health.

The children that Bright World Guardianships support, find themselves alone in another country, language, culture; there is unfamiliarity all around them. Alongside the usual challenges of growing up, their lives can at times be complex and stressful. 

Through a network of host families, care managers, local coordinators and transport services, every step of a child's time at boarding school or university, is supported by the adults at Bright World, all of whom are screened and trained....even the taxi drivers.
