Ethnic Minority & Traveller Achievement Support
Following the disestablishment of the Ethnic Minority and Traveller Achievement Service (EMTAS) in September 2012 Traveller Access Mentors are based at the Multi-Agency Traveller Unit (MATU)
This page is a bank of advice, guidance and resources for schools with minority ethnic pupils/students, especially those new to English and those with a Traveller heritage and/or lifestyle.
