Launching Our Latest Research Report and Good Practice Guide
We are excited to announce the launch of our latest research report and accompanying good practice guide, which form part of our ongoing efforts to support and uplift Gypsy/Traveller communities across Scotland.
This research report aims to investigate the Gypsy/Traveller communities’ views of vaccination information resources (COVID-19 and influenza) to ensure Gypsy/Travellers have equitable access to appropriate health information to support health and wellbeing.
The report provides recommendations for public health professionals and policy-makers. It is hoped these findings will encourage the review of current processes for working with and tailoring resources for Gypsy/Travellers.
The report can be read in full here:
Additionally, our report is intended to be read alongside our good practice guide. This offers a point of reference for those working with Gypsy/Traveller communities and can be read here:
MECOPP is committed to championing the rights and wellbeing of Gypsy/Travellers, ensuring that every individual has access to the information and resources needed to make informed healthcare decisions.
