Thousands of children from Gypsy, TravelLer and Roma communities are frequently missing from or invisible within data and evidence, affecting the support they receive for their education, employment and health.

Recent research from the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) at the London School of Economics Uses the new Growing Up in England (GUiE) linked dataset of over 7 million children that connects educational records to census records providing better understanding of the needs and experiences of children and young people from the communities.

We are extremely grateful to participants at two engagement workshops held in July 2022, and to our narrator for his important contribution to this video; to Gemma Challenger for her development of the visualisations (www.gemmachallenger.com); and to Margaret Greenfields and Tania Burchardt for their specialist input and advice.
