Conference Details

• Date: 24 March
• Location: Leeds
• Focus: Education outcomes for Romani, Irish Traveller and Roma children
• Participants: Community members and school staff
• Funding: Department for Education

The conference aims to provide a platform for dialogue between educators and representatives of the Romani, Irish Traveller and Roma communities. By sharing experiences and strategies, the event hopes to identify effective approaches to support these pupils’ educational progress.

Improving educational attainment for these groups has been recognised as a priority due to historically lower school attendance and achievement rates compared to the wider population. The conference is part of ongoing efforts to address these disparities and promote inclusivity within schools.

Further details about the conference, including how to participate, are available through local education channels and the organising bodies involved in the event.
