dc.description.abstractThe Traveller Graduate Network (TGN) is a group of graduates, professionals and changemakers from within the community who support and encourage the development of the potential of Travellers – specifically within higher education spaces. As TGN members have already progressed through the system, there is an understanding of the challenges and barriers that may be faced by others. Therefore, the TGN aims to help tackle those barriers so that all Travellers have the support and opportunity to progress through the education system. The TGN is a peer-to-peer network which offers advice and support to members and believes that Traveller graduates are stronger together. The TGN aims to shift the narrative around the different types of education among the wider community. This report presents the results of a formative review of the TGN. Such research is typically conducted when a new initiative is in the early stages of development. The purpose of such an evaluation is to conduct a needs analysis within the target group, to assess the feasibility of the initiative and to identify any opportunities for development.en
