GUARDIAN families are being sought to accommodate children studying at Sussex’s boarding schools.
Children studying at the county’s boarding schools whose parents live overseas require a UK-based guardian family.
Guardian Family, a networking company specialising in catering for children’s educational needs, is looking to act as a go-between for the students and their potential new families.
A spokesman said: “Ideally, they need to live close to the school, so that they can offer them accommodation at weekends and half term holidays, as well as act as their ‘English family’ to be there in case of emergency, monitor their academic study, be the friendly face at the airport that welcomes them back to the UK at the start of each term and ensure they are well-settled and happy.
“Guardian families come in all shapes and sizes from large families, couples without children or children who have flown the nest, retired couples to single mums.”
