This guide focuses on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, their ethnicities, cultures and traditions. It outlines the legal context and implications for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children in care and sets out the social policy context, including issues surrounding accommodation, education, health and criminal justice. It examines culturally competent and anti-discriminatory casework, including the practicalities of engaging with Gypsy, Roma and Traveller families and explores their experiences of the care system. This guide discusses how to support Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children to have positive views of themselves and to be proud of their identity and heritage and considers placement issues, including the assessment and support of family, friends, foster carers and adopters.
