New funding to tackle discrimination against Gypsy/Traveller Community in Scotland
A £3 million action plan to tackle the discrimination and challenges faced by the Gypsy/Traveller community has launched.
The plan, which has been co-produced with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA), will support improvements to accommodation, education, healthcare and access to benefits.
Local authorities will use £2 million of the funding to improve Gypsy/Traveller accommodation and sites, with the remaining funding going towards third sector children’s education projects and health and social care initiatives.
