Resources Overview

For Teachers of Travellers + Other Professionals

In this part of our website you will find information and links on resources available for use in schools with Traveller children. As Lord Adonis said in 2008:

“We need to create an inclusive learning environment for all children. All cultural backgrounds should be understood and respected. Children from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) communities should feel safe and cherished in school and therefore parents and pupils will be proud to identify themselves.”

Children learn best when they feel safe, secure and supported as well as excited and motivated. GRT children need to see their culture reflected in their school environment. Seeing themselves and things that are familiar to them will make them feel happy and confident. The resources outlined here; particularly in the NATT+ Resources Catalogue and the companion NATT+ eShop were created for just this purpose.

In this section

NATT+ eShop

The online version of our Resources Catalogue. It puts you in touch with the producers/distributers of resources so that you can obtain items. Updated as and when we receive information to do so. Consequently likely to be the most up-to-date way of checking availability and prices of items.

Resources

Any Traveller Education Service or organisation which has produced culturally specific/sensitive resources for sale may advertise them on our website facility free of charge. Items can be included in future issues of our catalogue.

N.B. For legal reasons NATT+ is not able to recommend resources however all resources listed in this area have all been suggested by our colleagues in Traveller Education.
