At Lingoo we have been providing language holidays for young people for many years. It has been a fascinating journey, that has allowed us to really understand the hopes and fears of parents looking to send their children on a language holiday or exchange. Sending your child into the care of another family as part of an exchange or to one of our paid hosts is a big decision. Particularly if it is the first time the child has been away from the family for an extended period of time. There are a lot of things parents want to know before sending their child on a language holiday /exchange, the priority being security. As parents Lingoo founders Anne and Peter Goldstein have designed the system and website with safety as a top priority.
How We Keep Lingoo Safe
With security our priority deciding that you would like to investigate sending your child on a cultural exchange and applying to join the site is just the start of the process. This often surprises people but joining the site is not automatic, we review the membership applications of both exchange families and those looking to act as paid hosts. This is a detailed review that includes asking and checking references and using tools such as the CRB check and our experience to ensure that we have received a genuine application that fits with the Lingoo philosophy of safe, friendly and flexible language holidays.
Trust In Arranging A Language Holiday
Lingoo provides the platform for families to find a family or host to exchange or send their children on a language holiday. A key part of making the decision to send your child on such a holiday is trust.
