Training and Consultation

Training and awareness raising is at the forefront of all TM policy and development. All our current training packages are developed from first-hand experience and in consultation with the Traveller communities.

All training packages are delivered by qualified and experienced trainers and co-facilitated by members of the Traveller communities. The approach we use to devise and deliver our training is interculturalism. Interculturalism accepts the principles of equality of rights, values and abilities but equally incorporates the development of policies to promote interaction, collaboration and exchange with people of different cultures, ethnicity or religion living in the same locality. We offer in-house customised training but can also organise TM-based standard training for selected members of your staff.

Training delivery to date has included Local Authorities, Police, Legal Firms, Prison Service, Probation Services, Social Services, Health and Wellbeing teams, Community Safety teams, Civil Society Organisations.

For upcoming events, bookings and enquiries, please contact the details below or download the Training for Professionals needs assessment form.
