What do we mean by Gypsies and Travellers?
The Gypsy and Traveller community in the United Kingdom is made up of two main groups, namely traditional and new Travellers. Traditional Travellers include Anglo-Romany Gypsies, Irish, Scottish and Welsh Travellers. Two of these groups, Anglo-Romany Gypsies and Irish Travellers are recognised as ethnic minority groups under the Race Relations Act (1976).
