Sussex Gypsy and Traveller Inclusion Network
Working together to improve outcomes for Gypsy and Traveller people across Sussex.
Gypsy and Traveller people continue to experience some of the poorest outcomes across health, education, accommodation, employment and access to services. Too often, professionals and organisations are working in isolation, without opportunities to share learning, build relationships or develop more effective approaches together.
The Sussex Gypsy and Traveller Inclusion Network has been created to change that.
This network brings together professionals from local authorities, NHS services, VCSE organisations, education, housing, policing, public health, social care and other sectors who are working with, or want to work more effectively with, Gypsy and Traveller people across Sussex.
The network aims to create a safe space for:
- Sharing knowledge, resources and best practice
- Building stronger cross-sector relationships and collaboration
- Improving understanding of barriers faced by Gypsy and Traveller people
- Listening and learning about different cultures
- Highlighting local and national developments affecting the communities
- Increasing culturally informed and inclusive practice
- Supporting earlier intervention and reducing crisis-driven responses
- Creating opportunities for joint working and systems change
The network is open to both frontline professionals and strategic leads. Whether you are already engaged in this work or looking to improve your organisation’s approach, the network provides an opportunity to learn from others and contribute to more effective and inclusive services for all across Sussex.
