Abstract: |
Gypsies and Travellers experience, some of the worst outcomes of any ethnic or social group including: below average educational attainment; above average rates of miscarriage, still births and neo-natal deaths; and widespread discrimination and hostility. This progress report by the Ministerial working group on tackling inequalities experienced by Gypsies and Travellers contains 28 measures from across Government that will improve outcomes for Gypsies and Travellers across education, health, accommodation, employment and in the criminal justice system. The Government will be held to account, in the following areas: identifying ways of raising educational aspirations and attainment of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children; identifying ways to improve health outcomes for Gypsies and Travellers within the proposed new structures of the NHS; encouraging appropriate site provision; building on £60m Traveller Pitch Funding and New Homes Bonus incentives; tackling hate crime against Gypsies and Travellers and improving their interaction with the criminal justice system; improving knowledge of how Gypsies and Travellers engage with services that provide a gateway to work opportunities and working with the financial services industry to improve access to financial products and services; and sharing good practice in engagement between Gypsies and Travellers and public service providers. |
