Millions of children and young people worldwide participate in educational, cultural and language visits, exchanges or homestay schemes every year. Whilst the vast majority will have an exciting and invaluable learning experience, some will suffer physical or sexual abuse, emotional cruelty or neglect at the hands of those who organise their visit or who look after them. Travel-Safe began as a research project funded by the Home Office and the European Commission. Sadly, what was uncovered in the twelve-month European based study, was significant amounts of abuse. Particularly in the area of homestay visits, Child-Safe has been able to turn these research results into a positive and pro-active initiative that now informs young people, parents, host families, schools and others about the potential risks. The series of Travel-Safe guidance books offer practical advice and guidance to a wide audience, including young people, parents, schools, host families and other commercial organisations. For more information about the content of the books, click on the link below. One of the Child-Safe supporters, Diana Lamplugh OBE (Director of the Suzy Lamplugh Trust) has endorsed the work by saying, "Abuse is not just physical, it can be aimed to affect the mind and emotions, innuendo and silence can hurt too. Being safe is an enabler not a restrictor. Life is for Living". |
