Integrity and safeguarding
The student remains the author. Safety outranks convenience.
The advisory supports decisions and learning. It does not replace the student’s voice, a school’s safeguarding function or a qualified clinical, legal or immigration professional.
Academic integrity
- Student authorshipThe student generates the ideas, claims, examples and final language submitted in an application.
- Permitted supportAdvice may address reasoning, structure, clarity, evidence, revision and whether the writing answers the question.
- Prohibited supportNo ghostwriting, fabricated experience, invented activity, false attribution or concealed third-party authorship.
- AI useAny permitted use must follow the relevant institution’s rules and preserve the student’s authorship. AI-generated application content will not be passed off as the student’s work.
- No outcome promiseAdmissions decisions belong to institutions. Advice cannot guarantee an offer, scholarship or result.
Parent and student roles
A parent or guardian is the contracting decision-maker. The student is an active participant whose authorship, dignity and developing autonomy must be respected.
- Parents receive the agreed decision record and commercial communications.
- Student-facing work is scheduled transparently and within the agreed family communication structure.
- No private relationship with a minor is used to bypass a parent or guardian.
- A student is not pressured to disclose medical, mental-health, family or identity information merely to strengthen an application.
Safeguarding and referral boundary
The advisory is not an emergency, medical, therapeutic or safeguarding service. If a concern falls outside educational decision support, work pauses and the family is directed to the appropriate school lead, emergency service or qualified professional.
Operating standard
- Keep communications and records proportionate to the education work.
- Record and escalate a safeguarding concern through the agreed parent and professional route.
- Do not diagnose, investigate or promise confidentiality that conflicts with safety or law.
- Use specialists only within their verified qualifications and with family consent.
Safeguarding readiness
Certificates and reference contact details are not public marketing content. The minimum private metadata must be confirmed before paid minor-facing work or before the site is presented as an operational due-diligence pack.
