Traveller Education
Would you like to know more about
how to welcome Traveller pupils into your school?
We have put together a comprehensive information booklet for teachers.
There are lots of ideas outlining good practice for race equality, establishing and maintaining relationships with Traveller parents and welcoming pupils who have never been to school before. Anxieties that Traveller parents have about school are explained. We have also included information about different Traveller groups: Gypsy & Romany, Irish Travellers, Showmen, Circus and Performing Families and New Travellers.
We hope that the booklet will be a useful reference for all schools in the county, whether they currently have Traveller pupils on roll or not.
To obtain a copy of the booklet please contact the Traveller Education Team on 01452 427262, or email READS reads@gloucestershire.gov.uk
