Leeds City Council’s £75 lessons in ‘Gypsy life’

Council workers in Leeds have been invited to take part in a crash course to teach them how to better “engage with Gypsies and Travellers”. The training course will cost £75 plus VAT per person and the YEP understands the bill will be picked up by Leeds City Council. Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange (Gate) is running the course, titled ‘How to engage with Gipsies and Travellers as part of your work’ which includes talks under the headings: health and well-being crisis in Gipsy and Traveller communities, closing the understanding gap, dealing with young Gypsies and Travellers and an interactive “visioning” session.
