This research led by Dr Laura Way, University of Roehampton, in collaboration with Lincolnshire Traveller Initiative, explores innovations in how both local and national mainstream services and support organisations can:

1) include Traveller communities in their service development,

2) make themselves easier to access for Traveller communities, and

3) engage more fully in inclusive professional practice, that is underscored by improved cultural awareness.

The study is underpinned by a participatory approach with Traveller communities that facilitates them as ‘experts by experience’ (Lane et al, 2014) in order to co-develop authentic insights concerning good practice and effective support.
