Traveller education

We provide dedicated support for schools and academies across Northumberland. We are committed to ensuring that equality is promoted, and diversity celebrated. We have a dedicated Education Family Liaison Officer who supports Traveller, Persons Seeking Asylum, and Refugees at home and at school.

We are there to support:

• Traveller, Persons Seeking Asylum and Refugee families with application to Free School Meals and transport if required
• Schools and families, to facilitate the access of their children to a broad and relevant curriculum
• Schools and other agencies that work with Traveller, Persons Seeking Asylum, and Refugee children

If you have a concern, or require support working with Traveller, Persons Seeking Asylum or Refugees, please contact Ian Luke at Ian.Luke@northumberland.gov.uk
