This report details a project which aimed to document the views of Traveller children aged 4-12 living in Ballyfermot. The project aimed to consulted with Traveller children to express their views on their experiences of engaging with services in the Ballyfermot area. The consultation is a part of a larger process of influencing change to achieve better life outcomes for and with Travellers in the area so that all Traveller children in Ballyfermot reach their full potential.
