Gypsy and traveller children ought to be engaged more by mainstream services

By Camille Warrington

* What do you imagine are the main barriers to gypsy and traveller children accessing services (mainstream and otherwise) and what could your service do to help them overcome these barriers?

* What can you and your service do to challenge misrepresentation of gypsy and traveller communities and support those who have experienced racism?

* When eliciting stories from children how can research methods be adapted to ensure the inclusion of as wide a group as possible and to offset the biases inherent within research sampling?
