Student Safety

TY Spain regards the safety and well being of our students as the most important aspect of our work and because of this our application process is very intensive in the following ways;

The application form is very detailed, we require considerable information about both families in order to made the best possible match between the two students and their families.

All family references are checked.

The School Principal’s reference is required and the student’s last three school reports are to be included with the application form.

A home visit is made during the application process at which time all family members should be present.

A family interview is required for all students who wish to take part in a TY Spain exchange.

Each family must organise fully comprehensive travel/accident insurance for their teenager while away from home and all students must have E111 cover.

TY Spain carries full Professional Indemnity Insurance.

TY Spain representatives are contactable by telephone at all times before, during and after an exchange.

Parents of students who have previously been on a TY Spain exchange can be contacted for feed back – contact details available on request.
