What is AEGIS and Why It Matters

AEGIS (The Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students) is the UK’s leading accreditation body for guardianship organisations. Their mission is:

“To promote the welfare of international students and support best practice in education and guardianship and provide peace of mind that those offering guardianship services to these students meet the very highest standards of care..”

AEGIS ensures the highest standards of care through a rigorous, independent inspection process, covering safeguarding, student wellbeing, operational effectiveness, and partnership working. Inspectors conduct thorough checks, including interviews with staff, homestays, schools, and families, as well as a detailed review of policies and procedures.

Receiving the Gold Standard accreditation means Study Links meets — and maintains — the highest benchmark in the sector, providing safe, ethical, and student-centred guardianship support.
