Correction notice

On p. 267, chapter 17, the percentage of houses owned among the general population was incorrectly given as thirty-five per cent. This has now been corrected to 35.6 per cent.

On p. 267, chapter 17, it was incorrectly stated that one in five newborn Romani babies die compared to one in a hundred among the rest of the population. This has now been corrected to state that one in five mothers experience child loss compared to one in a hundred among the rest of the population.

On pp.267–8, chapter 17, it was incorrectly stated that only nineteen per cent of Gypsies – as compared to sixty-five per cent of all children – take part in primary education, and 10.8 per cent – as compared to 28.9 per cent in total – do their A levels. This has now been corrected to state that only nineteen per cent of Gypsies – versus sixty-five per cent of children across all ethnic groups – achieve the ‘expected standard’ in primary education, and 10.8 per cent – versus 28.9 per cent – gain 3 ‘As’ at A level.

On pp. 277 and 279, chapter 17, the UK Parliament Tackling Inequalities Faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Communities report was incorrectly referenced as published on 9 May 2019. This publication date has now been corrected to 5 April 2019.

These corrections have been made in all versions of the book.
