Silver Guardianship This level of guardianship is intended for those families who already have family/legal guardian in this country but require a guardian to undertake some duties. In consultation with the legal guardian SOGA will endeavour to provide accommodation when required. Continuity of care with the same guardian family can not be guaranteed. Cost: Registration fee: £On Request Accommodation charges While our charges are based on 24 hour period we charge per night. However, we also charge for the extra meals the guardian family provide on the last day of an exeat or holiday period. Charge per night: £28.00 We strongly recommend that the student go to his/her guardian family for the exeats and half term in Scotland. This recommendation is made in order to facilitate the settling in period and to allow the student and the family to get to know each other and to allow bonds to develop. Only in exceptional circumstances will permission be given for the student to go elsewhere. The student may go to a friends house for the holiday periods after he/she has received the appropriate permission from both the school and SOGA and ample warning (at least 7 days) has been given to the guardian family as a matter of courtesy. If less than 7 days notice and the accommodation has been booked with the guardian family no credit will be given. Charge per day: £15.00 This charge is for any day the the guardian may spend with the student, this could be to renew visas, medical appointment, shopping trips etc. Transportation Cost: Mileage : .45p will be charged for journeys between the guardian’s home and the school, and for airport transfers. The waiting time at the airport is charged at £5.00 per hour. A deposit of £200 is required. This is used to pay for transportation charges and any special expenses. A separate accounting is made each term, and the parents are asked to `top up` the deposit at the beginning of each term, to ensure that £200 is held on credit. |
