Resources
STEP provides information on up to date resources available in Scotland
and the UK. We have a library of books,
articles, work packs, audio and video cassettes in addition to a database
of useful
people/contacts.
A Special Collection of historic books and materials has been set up in the University of Edinburgh main library that will be available to interested readers after September 2007.
New Education Leaflets and DVD from STEP
These leaflets and DVD were designed to help Gypsy/Traveller parents access information about education, particularly about 'authorised attendance'; on how to keep children safe when at school; and, to introduce Gypsy/Traveller communities to the meanings and implications of the Additional Support for Learning Act (2004) for the education of their children.
