A number of YOTs have told us about the importance of working with travelling communities. This links with our developing programme of work on equality and diversity.
Friends, Families and Travellers [opens in new window] works on behalf of all gypsies and travellers regardless of ethnicity, culture or background. See their website to learn more about their work and access a wide range of information and advice.
We would be interested to hear further views from colleagues in the field on this issue. Email laura.caplin@yjb.gov.uk to share your experiences or useful links to resources.
We would also like to receive examples of emerging practice in work with travelling communities to include in the Directory of Emerging Practice. Click for further information or to submit details of programmes or resources you have found to be effective.
