STUDENTS WHO ARE UNDER 18
Under UK law, anyone under the age of 18 is considered to be a child. This means that MHEP has a special duty of care to students under the age of 18. Parents also continue to have a legal responsibility, even if they are not living in the UK.
11.11 MHEP Centres are not able to take on the usual rights, responsibilities and authority that parents have in relation to their child, and will not act in loco parentis for students who are under 18. The parents or guardians of any student under the age of 18 retain the usual rights, responsibilities and authority that they have in relation to their child. MHEP will therefore require the parent/guardian to sign and return a Parent Consent Form before their child can enrol onto an MHEP programme.
11.12 The Parent Consent Form also authorises nominated International Study Centre staff to take action in the case of an emergency. This form will also request medical information. This form will be included with the offer letter and must be completed and returned to us with the acceptance form. Failure to return this forms could result in a CAS not being issued.
11.13 In addition to the parent/guardian details of who normally looks after the student, MHEP will also require that the student provides details of a guardian based in the UK, in addition to living with someone over the age of 21 whilst in the UK, if the following statements apply:
- The student intends to stay in privately rented accommodation in the UK (i.e. accommodation not sold to them via MHEP or MHEP’s partners during the admissions process); and
- The student is under the age of 18 when enrolling at an MHEP Centre; and
- The student’s parents live outside of the UK
Details of guardianships are available on request from MHEP. The student’s parent/guardian should look for a guardianship agency which is a member of AEGIS (see: https://aegisuk.net/ ).
11.14 Whilst MHEP will
11.15 In the case of students under 18, any reference in these terms and conditions to the liability of students shall also mean the liability of the parents or guardian of the student and such liability is joint and several, which means that we can recover any losses, overdue fees or any other costs that we are entitled to recover under these terms and conditions from the student or the parents/guardians.
