Persecuted
Racism and prejudice has never been too far from Traveller and Gypsy people and you can read about the history of persecution in our History Section.
Police training pack
Training for Equality
For Roma, Gypsies and Travellers
Training for Equality is an excellent Training Pack that has been developed by John Coxhead, a Police Training Officer in Derbyshire, and would be a very useful basis for training with all groups.
"No-one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate." Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (2004:748)
This paper is directed to the Police Service and Criminal Justice Sector. The paper outlines a case for development of service provision for Gypsies and Travellers, to comply with the legal duty under the Race Relations Amendment Act 2000 and to support Race Equality Schemes. The paper focuses on training strategies to enable service development.
It is hoped that the police service and criminal justice sector will support the ongoing development of training strategies highlighted, and adopt them within their ongoing development work.
