Improving the lives of our Gypsy/Traveller communities is a significant human-rights commitment for Scottish Government and COSLA and is crucial to delivering a fairer Scotland.
The national action plan was published in 2019 to address these inequalities and sets out work on five themes to improve outcomes for the communities:
- More and better accommodation
- Improving access to public services
- Better incomes in and out of work
- Tackling racism and discrimination
- Improving Gypsy/Traveller representation
The initial actions in the plan have been developed with the advice, support and challenge of advocates, activists and members of the Gypsy/Traveller communities with delivery of priorities being adapted in response to feedback received through community conversations, cross party and ministerial working groups.
