Agenda

Our 17th NALDIC Berkshire and Hampshire RIG will be led by our guest speaker, Declan O’Driscoll, the Education Policy and Campaigns Officer of the national Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) organisation ‘The Traveller Movement’ https://travellermovement.org.uk/

Declan will be talking about various aspects of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller culture and GRT History Month – which is in June – with a focus on GRT in the curriculum outside of the ‘month’; some possible barriers between schools and GRT families and, importantly, what schools can do to proactively reach out to engage and support GRT pupils and their families. He’ll also be sharing how schools and LAs can work more closely with the Traveller Movement on some exciting new initiatives.

There will be time for questions and an opportunity to share good practice.
