About the Training Team
Specialist trainers with lived experience and sector expertise.
Friends, Families and Travellers’ training is delivered by a team of experienced facilitators, researchers and advocates with deep expertise in Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, equality practice and public service delivery.
Our team combines lived experience with professional expertise across health, education, housing, criminal justice and organisational development. This ensures training is grounded, practical and directly relevant to the realities of frontline work.
Rather than abstract theory, our trainers focus on applied learning, real-world scenarios and actionable change.
Our training approach is:
- Lived experience informed – centring the perspectives of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities
- Practically focused – designed for real-world application in services and organisations
- Sector specific – tailored to the challenges of different professional contexts
- Interactive – encouraging reflection, discussion and application
- Action oriented – focused on what participants can change in their practice
