The Children’s Society
Nearly 9 out of every 10 children and young people from a Gypsy background have suffered racial abuse and nearly two thirds have also been bullied or physically attacked (This is who we are, Children’s Society, 2007)

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month (England)
Go to most museums, libraries and schools and nothing about their history and culture is kept or taught. The result is a widespread ignorance about who they are, which sometimes turns to hatred, fear and misunderstanding. In schools, children learn more about the Romans, Vikings or even fairies than they do about Gypsy, Roma and Traveller cultures and what they have contributed to this world. As a result they are misunderstood, feared and loathed (Gypsy, Roma, Traveller History Month, http://www.grthm.co.uk)

Stonewall
The two groups identified as the most threatening– asylum seekers and Travellers – were the only groups with whom most interviewees had had no contact (Understanding Prejudice, Stonewall, 2004)

The Welsh Assembly Government
The Welsh Assembly Government’s own report on the accommodation needs of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people (Niner, 2006) spoke of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people having ‘distinct demographic and economic characteristics’ and being one of the most socially excluded groups in Britain. It also spoke of the extent to which that social exclusion was reinforced by their experiences of discrimination.
They noted the tendency of the settled community to stereotype and lump all Gypsy-Travellers together, and felt that Gypsy-Travellers are the population group against whom it is still ‘acceptable’ to make racist remarks. (Accommodation Needs of Gypsy-Travellers in Wales, Niner, 2006)
