Trainer
Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller people have experienced discrimination and hate crime for generations and remain some of the most marginalised ethnic groups in the UK.
Research has consistently demonstrated that Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller communities are the most negatively viewed ethnic groups in the UK. Despite this, many incidents go unreported due to the normalisation of discrimination, a lack of confidence that action will be taken, and a mistrust of public authorities.
Drawing on decades of campaigning, advocacy, and frontline casework, Friends, Families and Travellers invites you to join this practical webinar to understanding, recognising and responding to hate crime affecting Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller communities.

By the end of the webinar, participants will:
