Duty of Care;
Being a host family, you must add students to your home and car insurance to meet our duty of care policy.
We can partner with an insurance company that offers bespoke insurance, but if your current insurer is willing to add guardianship as an additional option this will be OK too
Once we’re happy and you are too! you’ll become part of our fully registered host family team and we’ll start to offer you placements when they become suitable for your family.
