ADVERSE EXPERIENCES OF REVEALING IDENTITY AND WHY IDENTITY MIGHT NOT BE REVEALED IN A NON-SCHOOL CONTEXT

We moved down this way about three years ago … we couldn’t get a doctors … they was asking for passports, proof of address … we had just moved down here … we didn’t have that … we said like Travellers site - they was like no, literally [ family group]

Some people in my family won’t go to hospital because they fear they will get discriminated against

Whether To Reveal Identity Or Not

We always tick .. but then there’s not an option … it says ‘other’ … you have to write it down…[t]hey should [ask] ... we’re a culture … we’re a race … you have to be born into it [child/young person/]

At my doctor’s surgery they do have Roma Gypsy plus Irish Traveller … they have it at her playschool .. they don’t have it at the school … but they do ask you [parent/carer/member of family group]

It’s not a really big deal but it just would be nice if it was on ... other races have it .. why can’t we? [young person]
