Welcome to the Roma Support Group e-bulletin for October 2020. 

We hope all of our readers have been able to adapt to the changing COVID-19 lockdown
restrictions in the past weeks.

This month, the Immigration Bill is reaching its late stages. Many members of the Roma community in the UK will be affected by its passage into law. For this reason, we have devoted a large section of this month's newsletter to information surrounding the Bill and the work we have been doing in response.

In total, this month's newsletter will focus on:
  • Roma Support Group's digital status campaign
  • Public Law Project's report on digital status
  • The European Children's Rights Unit (ERCU) research briefings
  • Issues with National Insurance numbers
  • The European Parliament's Resolution proposing legislation to combat antigypsyism and the social exclusion of Roma
  • A response to the BBC's Creative Diversity Commitment
  • An introduction to the Roma News Project
  • The Our Newham Artbook published by Protection Approaches
  • A bursary for GRT (Gypsy, Roma and Travellers) from Bucks New University
  • Daniel's reflections
