“Traveller children are constantly aware that their identity may pose a problem for them in school, whether in their relations with teachers or among their settled peers. Lack of validation of identity often reinforces Traveller children’s inclination to hide their identity in order to fit in and also to avoid discrimination, bullying, or harassment.” -‘Report and Recommendations for Traveller Education Strategy’ (2005) |
