1 Irish Travellers Movement

The Irish Traveller Movement has just published A Good Practice Guide for Involving Travellers in Housing, which has detailed guidelines for Housing Services on effective engagement and consultation with Irish Travellers and Gypsies. It should also prove very useful for Irish organisations working with Travellers in other capacities such as advice, advocacy and community development. more info

2 'Commissioning' is your organisation ready?

A Commissioning workshop was held at Congress recently but due to the urgency of the subject we have prepared a second presentation which will be repeated again in the north of England shortly.
