Friends, Families and Travellers

Why is the BHSCP providing this course?

Friends, Families and Travellers is a leading national charity that works to end racism and discrimination against Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people and to protect the right to pursue a nomadic way of life. This training session focussed on safeguarding will provide information on what to take into account when working with Gypsy and Traveller families, while covering the rich histories and diverse cultures to provide context. This training will equip you with the tools needed to make your safeguarding practices more inclusive for Gypsies and Travellers.
