Dartford Talk: Who are the Travellers? with Carol Mellors

Carol trained as a teacher and for 20 years was responsible for Traveller Education in West Kent.

She advised schools on the inclusion of Roma children newly arrived from Eastern Europe. 

With her team she set up projects to link English Gypsies with their Roma cousins and trained Police, NHS and Social Service personnel in how to liaise with these communities.

Her talk will include the background of travellers and how to identify and research them. She will also cover New Age and Irish Travellers, Circus and Fairground folk who are separate ethnic groups.

Doors open 9.45am. The meeting / talk will start at 10.30am and end by 12.30pm. 

The Talk venue has a large, free car park but it is shared with other users and can be busy at times.

No booking, just turn up.
