Guardianship Service
ServicesIn line with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requirements, all students under 18 must have appropriate guardianship arrangements in place during their studies. Lumis Education, as a guardianship organisation, arranges a nominated guardian for each student with the approval of the child’s parent or legal guardian and the school.
