Following the disbanding of the Gypsy and Traveller Law Reform Coalition (G&TLRC) in April 2006, Friends Families and Travellers, The Gypsy Council, The Irish Traveller Movement and the London Gypsy and Traveller Unit wanted to establish a way of continuing the valuable work on law reform achieved by the Coalition. These four organisations agreed to set up the Traveller Law Reform Project.

This project will keep the aims of the G&TLRC – to bring about positive changes in the law in relation to the rights and needs of all the Gypsy and Traveller communities – and will monitor the implementation of current legislation.

We will work closely with the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Traveller Law Reform.The Travellers Aid Trust has provided funding for two years for the employment of a part-time Policy Development Officer, who began work in mid-February 2007.The Policy Development Officer is Richard Solly, who previously worked at the Churches' Commission for Racial Justice (CCRJ).
