Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Implementation of National Traveller and Roma Inclusion Strategy II and Action Plan 2024-2026: Department of Children, Disability and Equality

2:00 am

Ms Carol Baxter:

We have been working to secure mainstream funding in this area. Dormant accounts funding is brilliant but we see it as additionality. Our focus is on mainstream funding. The Deputy talked about implementation. From the very beginning, there has been a very strong focus on implementation.

In the action plan there are KPIs linked to every action in order that outcomes can be measured by the end of 2026 to see to what degree we have implemented what we set out to implement.
