Roma, Gypsy and Traveller History Month | June

   Gloucestershire EPS

Gloucestershire Educational Psychology Service are providing a focus on how to support Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children and young people.

Gloucestershire Educational Psychology Service wish to support school staff to reflect on how they support Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) children and young people in their school.

Our poster marks GRT History Month this June, 2026, highlighting the importance of representation, belonging and inclusion in school communities.  It emphases the importance of staff recognising and celebrating the diverse backgrounds, strengths and experiences that GRT pupils bring, reinforcing the message that feeling valued and understood is central to wellbeing and engagement in learning.

Research related to supporting RGT children and young people indicate that building trusting relationships, partnering positively with families, and creating predictable, welcoming environments are supportive approaches when working with these children and young people.

By reflecting on our own perspectives and adopting transparent communication, clear routines and a strengths‑based ethos, the poster supports schools to foster inclusive practice and stronger connections with GRT pupils and their families.
