Travelling community ‘most disadvantaged by far’ among minority groups

The Travelling community experiences the greatest degree of disadvantage “by far” among minority groups, a think tank has said.

The Economic and Social Research Institute (Esri) studied levels of disadvantage among the nine groups covered under the Equal Status Act – gender, marital status, family status, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, religion, and membership of the Traveller community.
