Tyler’s family has proposed the T-Hill Safety Standards Bill to ensure safety protocols will be put in place to protect the thousands of children who participate in People to People student ambassador programs – and other similar travel programs – each year.

PURPOSE
To protect ‘all’ students (U S citizens and foreigners) and children who are entrusted to third parties, especially during travel within the United States and Internationally.

PEOPLE
Students of any age, preschool through college entrusted to the care of 3rd parties, especially during remote travel.

PROBLEM
No safety standards exist to protect children’s health and safety rights while entrusted to third parties, especially during travel programs.  Children have been denied health care, died, hurt, abandoned, sick and killed.  

• There are no criteria for the selection of Leaders entrusted to the care for children.
• There is no mandated protocol for communication between the parents and the child, or the parents and the leaders; or a safety net for the child to call for help if a situation demands it.
• There is no protocol for reporting abuse, accidents, injuries and deaths.

PAYOFF
Our most valuable assets, our children, will be able to travel safely, work towards international understanding, religious and racial tolerance and create peace, SAFELY.
