How will my Host Family monitor my welfare while I am with them?
Your Host Family will notify HFS London of any concerns relating to your welfare during their time in the Homestay. Examples include non-attendance at class, illness/health issues and general homesickness. In such a scenario HFS London will inform your place of study and will endeavour to resolve any such issues promptly and with sensitivity.
HFS London may monitor student satisfaction by means of survey or any other medium thought necessary to ensure the continued provision of a quality Homestay experience.
Whatever your age, it is imperative that the Host Family is present in the home for the duration of your placement. If your Host Family goes away from your Homestay for more than 24 hours please inform your place of study or HFS London immediately. We will investigate and depending on the circumstances, we may have to relocate you.
