The group steers TM policy work and is the key consultation point for the partnerships and policy teams on a wide range of issues. Membership and voting rights are exclusively based on the identity and heritage of the Traveller and Gypsy communities. The GRTAB have quarterly meetings at the TM offices in London and moreover work in subgroups and individual capacities as and when required. The group and its members have been instrumental in: Coordinating and facilitating TM’s highly successful yearly national conferences since 2007, attended by approximately 200 people each year. Guiding TM research, including TM’s 2013 Department of Health funded study on the impact of insecure walk-up on Gypsies’ and Travellers’ health. Attending Department for Education Gypsy Roma Traveller Stakeholder Group meetings and guiding TM education policy. Challenging negative media coverage of Gypsies and Travellers, including TM’s successful complaint to the Advertising Standards Agency versus Channel 4’s big fat gypsy wedding advertisements. Guiding and drafting the TM submission to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination versus Women.To strive for confident and pro-active participation, TM offers topics towers and skills minutiae training to all members. We believe that self-confidence is key to full participation within the group and the worthiness to represent the issues well-expressed these communities externally.GRT Advisory Board members are from a wide geographical spread with an incredible range of diverse backgrounds and skills, including trades men, classroom assistants, teachers, traders, polity youth workers, solicitors, respected activists and polity advocates.
