Vejledningstjenesterne synes at være særligt veludviklede inden for de videregående uddannelser i Storbritannien, hvor strukturen i stipendiesystemet giver de studerende mulighed for at uddanne sig på institutioner, der ligger langt fra deres hjem, og hvor institutionerne derfor traditionelt har overtaget visse funktioner in loco parentis.
