Student Welfare

Students’ safety and comfort are our priority

For both residential and homestay students we place the highest priority on providing an exceptional standard of care and supervision to ensure the welfare and safety of our Young Learners. Our team are always present to ensure our students have a safe, happy and enjoyable time and each centre has a qualified first-aider on-site.

Close Supervision

In accordance with British Council guidelines and our own welfare policies, all residential students are supervised at all times and students are not permitted to leave the centre without a member of our staff or group leader, or without prior permission. Those in homestay accommodation will travel to and from the centre by public transport, they will be provided with assistance on the best routes to take.

Buddy system

At our residential centres, each team member is directly responsible for the welfare and happiness of their buddy group. They check that group-led students and especially individual students are eating properly, looking after personal hygiene, keeping their rooms tidy, and also account for them at roll call and during fire alarms.

Monitoring Excursions

BSC Young Learners provides an enriching excursion programme, where students will be given the opportunity to enjoy supervised time within some of the most culturally vibrant locations in the UK and Malta.

Prior to each excursion, students will receive clear instructions:

• to stay with their ‘buddy’ during free time

• which areas are out-of-bounds

• on local etiquette

• where the emergency meeting point is (which is staffed at all times as well as other duty team members, who’ll continuously monitor the allocated free time area)

• meeting times

And as always, our emergency phone systems will be in place. Students will have the number on their BSC lanyard and wristband (which they must wear at all times).
