On the Margins and Caught in the Headlines
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the publication of the two reports, On the Margins and Caught in the Headlines, on Scottish Gypsy/Travellers by Amnesty International; understands that On the Margins outlines a number of worrying issues in local authority service provision to the Gypsy/Traveller community; further understands that Caught in the Headlines examines the disproportionately negative media coverage of Gypsy/Travellers in the Scottish press; considers that there is still much to do to tackle the deep-rooted inequalities that face Gypsy/Travellers in Scotland; calls on local authorities to further develop good practice in working with the Gypsy/Traveller community, and calls on the Scottish media to tackle the prejudice toward Gypsy/Travellers that it considers is often portrayed in the media.
