Traveller equality update: news from schools and LAsData from the DCSF suggests that children and young people of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller heritage consistently achieve the lowest of all ethnic groups. And yet the attention given to challenging their underachievement can be patchy. The Achieve Network has been working with LAs, schools and teachers to explore and develop practice to promote GRT equality. The resources collected here include: recent and past examples of successful equality projects and information from the Achieve Traveller Education event held in March 2007, including an article by Karen Steger, READS, on the protocol for missing children.
