Cover of the Early Years Outreach Practice publicationEarly Years Outreach Practice is aimed at anyone working outreach with children from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities.


The purpose of this interactive resource is to share and reflect the work, knowledge and ideas of practitioners nationally. It draws on the experiences and understanding of practitioners currently working in rural and urban locations, within Traveller Education Support Service (TESS) teams and in Sure Start Children Centres.

The information and ideas contained in this document may be transferable to practice with other families currently excluded from early years services.
