The Gypsy/Traveller and Roma Pledge for Scottish Schools
The Gypsy/Traveller and Roma School Pledge is a commitment by schools to undertake certain steps to support access, retention and outcomes in education for pupils from Gypsy/Traveller and Roma communities.
Please get in touch with STEP to discuss how your school can get involved in the Pledge in Scotland.
The programme is part of Scottish Government’s Action Plan, Improving the lives of Gypsy/Travellers.
