We have a responsibility to provide education to
the children of travellers who have settled in North
Somerset.
We do this through ACTES which is a partnership with
Bristol City Council,
Bath and North East Somerset
Council and
South Gloucestershire
Council.
ACTES supports the following five groups of travellers and aims to
ensure the educational needs of their children are met:
- Showmen (Fairground) Travellers
- Circus Travellers
- New Travellers
- Irish Travellers
- Gypsies
ACTES works in partnership with traveller parents, mainstream
schools and other professionals in order to provide children with
access to and a continuity of education.
The service is led by South Gloucestershire on behalf of the other
authorities.
