A Short Guide to Providing and Managing Sites for Gypsies and Travellers
Places we’re proud of A short guide to providing and managing sites for Gypsies and Travellers January 2021 2 / Places we’re proud of About this guide This short guide shares some key lessons and strong examples to prompt more housing associations and local authorities to get involved in providing good- quality sites for Gypsies and Travellers. It’s produced by the National Policy Advisory Panel on Gypsy and Traveller Housing, which is a group of housing providers committed to extending provision and raising standards of this much-needed type of accommodation. The guide is based on research funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, undertaken by De Montfort University in Leicester and published by the Chartered Institute of Housing in 2016.1 This showed how vital it is for existing sites to be well managed, before seeking political and public support for plans to build new sites. The 2016 study identified a list of essential ingredients for effective site delivery and management, which this guide amplifies and illustrates with successful case studies from across the UK. Foreword I am delighted to be able to welcome this guide to providing and managing Gypsy and Traveller sites, produced by the National Policy Advisory Panel on Gypsy and Traveller Housing. It is welcome to see housing providers driving debate on Gypsy and Traveller accommodation. There are excellent examples of housing associations and local authorities working together to provide and manage sites in their areas. Baroness Cathy Bakewell Their message is that housing providers can and should include Vice-Chair of the All Party Gypsy and Traveller sites in their plans for developing new Parliamentary Group on housing. -
