Summary of report content

The following report has been compiled from data collected by Gypsy Life using a survey designed by Healthwatch Nottinghamshire.

Gypsy Life took our survey and spoke to 66 Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller (GRT) young people aged 11 to 19 with most of the respondents (65%) being 16 and over.

Healthwatch Nottinghamshire then compared the findings with answers given by young people in general. Only 4 (6%) of the 66 GRT young people were in education. GRT young people used only 13 children’s health and social care services, compared to the general young population who used 23 services. The top six services used were the same in each group (but in a different order). When asked to comment on how satisfied with a service they were, the percentage of young GRT who had mediocre experiences of services (both satisfaction and how young person friendly) was much higher than the general young population.
