Origins of Romani
• Romani in Europe are descendants of groups who left India around 1000 years ago
• Arrived in Europe around 14th Century• Romani - some links with Hindi, Urdu and
Punjabi but the present form influenced by Byzantine Greece and the Ottoman empire
• Some speak Romani and national language• Others speak national language and limited
(or no) Romani
Migration
• 1850 to 1920/30 – abolition of slavery of Roma in Romania and subsequent destitution – many Roma fled SE Europe in search of better lives
• 1945 onwards – post war Europe and iron curtain sealed borders – movement restricted
• 1980 – 1989 – erosion of former soviet block frees up Romani and enables movement
• Accession of A8 (2004) and A2 in 2007
Current migration
• Czech & Slovakian republic to UK
• Slovakia to Czech republic
• Romania to Czech Republic and Slovakia
• Moldova and Ukraine to Russia
• Moldova to Ukraine
• Eastern Europe to Canada
Member states of the European Union
European Economic Area
Complexity of Europe
European Economic Area
• The following countries are in the European Economic Area: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, UK.
• Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland are EFTA countries (European Free Trade Association) These nationals have the same rights as EEA nationals.
A8 Countries - May 2004
• Czech Republic• Hungary• Estonia• Slovakia• Slovenia• Poland• Lithuania• Latvia
Full accession rights since May 2011. This means the same rights as UK, French, Spanish, Italian or other EEA citizens
A2 Countries –
• Romania & Bulgaria
• Will not have full accession rights until Jan 2014.
• No right to work in UK until Jan 2014, unless self employed. No recourse to public funds.
Most Roma people want
to work or be in self
employment
Current Estimates
• Estimates vary between 2000 and 3000 children and adults (2007 figures)
• Based on GP registrations (1609) across 5 Practices, School/Nursery Roll numbers, DRS Social Survey, Police environmental Health estimates.
• No Data – No Progress – currently trying to establish Roma ethnicity category in Carefirst 6 and new GIRFEC reportRomanet Baseline Study (2011); `No Data – No Progress’ (2010) www.soros.org/initiatives/roma
Gypsy/Roma/Travellers
• GRT category is unhelpful/inaccurate
• Roma are, in general, `sedentary’ population – not travellers. Current patterns are more likely to be migratory settlement patterns
• Increasingly signs of settlement – reduced `churn’ rate at schools
Social Work Service(Roma Children & Families)
• 3 social workers appointed – Jamie O’Donnell, Lesley Crichton & Billy McCann
• Plans for further 2 bilingual/trilingual support workers to be appointed
• Based at 3rd Floor, Samaritan House, 79 Coplaw Street, Govanhill G42 7JG Tel: 424 1430.

Focus of the Team – alligned in 3 ways
• Direct close working relationship with the 4 main Primary Schools – Annette St, Cuthberton, St Brides & Holycross
• Close allignment with EU Health visiting team & Govanhill Nursery
• Holyrood and Shawlands Academy & the EAL service
• Whole family/household approach
• Team running since March 2012 – 7 months.
• The team was set up in order to take away the overwheming complexity of the work that Gorbals office was struggling with. 2 phases in March and June this year and there are now very small number of cases still with specialist teams – eg PACT, Ch & Disability, Hospital.
• The team was also set up to look at news ways of working and we are doing this
Development Work• Whilst the team are working with Roma families they are
developing ways of working that tackle underlying need
• The team are expected to make links, forge partnerships, promote & stimulate new initiatives and draw down additional resources
• Working with Romania and Slovakia, developing new ways of working & avoiding legal challenges (European Court of Human Rights) that other authorities are now counting the cost of. 1989 UN Convention Rights of Child and European Convention on Human Rights challenges. Council of Europe Parliamentary assembly resolution 12th Nov 2012
http://assembly.coe.int/ASP/Doc/XrefViewPDF.asp?FileID=19220&Language=EN
Anti Poverty drive
• Approx 250 children from Eastern Europe across the 4 Primaries – Annette St, Cuthbertson, Holycross and St Brides.
• Only about 25% of these children are in receipt of free school meals/clothing grants. The Glasgow average is 36%.
• Social Work, Health and Education are tackling this problem together
Anti-poverty drive
• Jan Sheach’s team releasing three WROs to work on this initiative 1 day pw.
• After discussions with Health Service, they have agreed to `match’ this 1 day pw ( Money Matters 1year)
• The drive will include Roma but is not exclusively targeted at Roma and will ensure that all children in these 4 primary Schools will have an opportunity to maximise their income/claim free school meals
Explicit but not exclusive targeting
• The Council of Europe (May 2009) adopted 10 principles for the inclusion of Roma. Principle 2 states that “Explicit but not exclusive targeting of the Roma is essential for inclusion policy initiatives. It implies focusing on Roma people as a target group but not to the exclusion of other people who share similar socio economic circumstances”
Impact?
• More Govanhill children entitled to free school meals and clothing grants
• Improved nutrition/health• SIMD/Child Poverty indicators for schools
positively affected. • Better attendance – children not returning
after lunchtime• Better integration
Other initiatives• Roma Childrens Working Group now established.
Health, Education & SW – led by SW - Reports to South Locality Planning Meeting.
• Joint work with Police at present• Anti-trafficking project with Crossroads & on CP
Committee sub group - Trafficking• Specialist programme for sexually problematic behaviour

EU Funding
• ESF/ERDF funds are used to improve employment opportunities, promote education and life-long learning, enhance social inclusion, contribute to combating poverty and develop institutional capacity of public administration.
• The next funding round 2014-2020 has a particular focus on disadvantaged communities, particularly the Roma,
• Minimum of 20% being spent on social inclusion issues. This is a substantial increase on the 2007-13 programme.
• The Commission proposes a framework budget of EUR 376 bn from 2014-2020.
• 25% of this budget for cohesion policy over the period, to which a minimum of EUR 84 billion will be allocated.
• Key priority 9: Promoting social inclusion and combating poverty through “Integration of marginalised communities such as the Roma” and a particular focus on “migrants.. and minorities (including marginalised communities such as the
Roma). Roma inclusion should not focus exclusively on Roma but concentrate on social transformation, looking at how we live together and respecting the human
rights of all.
