6. Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Children
Rotherham Council has an understanding of and is sensitive to the distinct ethos and needs of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities.
It is important that these families who are electively home educating are treated in the same way as any other families. Home education should not be regarded as less appropriate than in other communities.
When a Gypsy, Roma or Traveller family move to the area, they are strongly encouraged to contact the Admissions Team or the Elective Home Education Team for advice and help to access local educational settings and resources.
