Traveller Child in Education Action Framework - Early Years

Letters come here and we can’t read them’ (x 2 parents). Help parents with key skills, literacy, numeracy perhaps providing courses inthese areas so we can help our children better. If they have the right support. The most of the teachers is good to the Travellers. Parents need more information about school. Parents need more opportunity to feed back to school. As children are progressing through school parents are finding homeworkmuch more challenging and are unable to help children with it – parents needsupport with this in some way (x 2 parents). Sometimes parents need help to help their child – many parents can’t read. (x3 parents). Help us parents learn how to read so we can help our children with theirhomework. Provide courses for parents. Parent & child in homework club (x 2 parents). Classes for parents, like computers would help us understand a bit more. We do computer classes with An Tearmann could they show us the bits of thehomework then we could know what the children are meant to be doing” They still send homework home yet they know I can't read or write, My sisterhelps them but what if next year she decides to move? I'll be lost then Support parents with reading/writing skills (x 6 parents). More information-user friendly (x 6 parents). We be away sometimes travelling and I don’t need to be getting into trouble. I need to travel to the south and the school shouldn’t be sending people outall the time. It would be good if they could get their schooling but won’t change theirculture. I think if teachers listened to us more. Listen to the families. The teachers need to listen to us when I’m asking why my child has nohomework and the other children has theirs, shes just left doing nothing Confidential talk with child and parent at schools to see if school hears theirbullying complaints. More communication between school and parents (x 5 parents). Tell children and parents more about education (x 2 parents). Parents should be given more information and advice on how to get a goodeducation for their children (x 3 parents). Better form of communication between schools and parents instead ofconstant notes and letters which are hard to read e.g telephone us! (x 3parents). All Travellers rear their children different.23
