Boarding Concern


The truth about boarding


Our active, growing organisation represents people who have concerns about the practice of boarding education for the young and the effect on these people as adults. This website offers a voice and provides information and support to former boarders, current boarders and those thinking of boarding.

We also offer advice to other interested parties, including counsellors, educators and politicians.

Our working brief includes keeping up with latest research in the field and changes in governmental policy. We campaign for individual rights for boarders and ex-boarders.

We want to offer an alternative message to the boarding school industry, which has places to fill and fees to earn.

We are former boarders and non-boarders, today's carers, parents and grandparents. Our experienced management team includes advisors who are educators, psychologists and psychotherapists.
