Training and Consultation

We offer specialist training, consultancy and community engagement services developed through direct experience of working with Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller communities. Our work combines lived experience, professional expertise and community insight to help organisations build inclusive, effective and culturally competent services.

Training and awareness raising sit at the heart of our work. We support professionals, organisations and service providers across a range of sectors, including education, health, local government, housing, criminal justice and the voluntary sector.

The Traveller Movement is proud to offer a range of CPD-certified training courses, available for immediate download and purchase. These high-quality accredited courses are designed to increase understanding of Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller communities and support more inclusive policy and practice. They can be completed at your own pace and provide practical knowledge that can be applied directly to your role.
