Summary
The British Guardianship Mental Health Policy outlines how staff, homestays, coordinators, and schools identify, respond to, and manage mental‑health concerns among international students. It emphasises early identification, safeguarding, and prioritising student safety and wellbeing. All concerns must be recorded and escalated to the Designated Safeguarding Lead, who liaises with parents, schools, and relevant professionals. The policy details risk assessment before accepting guardianship, crisis procedures, medication management, confidentiality protocols, and collaboration with external agencies. It also includes AEGIS‑compliant procedures for student removal, ongoing monitoring, and reintegration, supported by trained staff and a comprehensive mental‑health support directory.
