The new executive met for the first time in January and a STTC Sub-Committee was established. The next piece of work is to identify aims, objectives and tasks for this sub-committee which will lead to a clear strategy for the Association working for the benefit of the STTC’s. Meeting with IVEA: On January 23rd, we also met for the first time with the IVEA. Both Associations have agreed that having a structured relationship can be mutually beneficial and will assist in developing strategic plans for the Training Centre Network. NATC are to make position papers available to the IVEA in relation to: Length of working year in STTC’s and an Operator’s Guidelines Handbook for all stakeholders in STTC’s Our meetings with the ESF section of the Department of Education and Science have continued to advance some issues. Two Centres are now removed from the priority list of Centres to be refurbished. The piloting of the Quality Framework is underway in 9 Centres. There are no positive indications from the Department that the non pay budget for Centres will be increased. This is having a big impact on the development of Centres. The technical group, who will develop the operations guidelines for STTC’s, should be established in March of this year. Funding for NATC Youth Service, We are in the initial stages of implementing the training programme for Youth Workers, Leaders and Management Committees. This will be funded from the Ќ 35k p.a. NATC Youth Services has received arising from the White Paper on supporting voluntary Activity. Over the next three years a diversity of tailored trainings will be implemented to upskill those involved. Youth Service funding is a cause for concern nationally. The demands on the service by young Travellers continues to increase, while the funding remains the same with the exception of wage inflation. We continue to work actively with the NYCI to address this issue and the staff are about to look at other avenues to improve this situation. We have met with the Dept. of Justice Equality & Law Reform in relation to any future developments for a new Citizen Traveller Campaign and have identified the Voice of the Traveller magazine as an ideal media mechanism to redress Traveller rights and responsibilities. Our offices will keep members up to date with any further developments in our work via email NATC New Offices (with Picture) NATC have moved to new premises. One of the many benefits of this move is that we can accommodate training, meetings etc for up to 50 persons. This meets our own training facility needs but we also taking bookings from groups and organisations who wish to hire our fully equipped Training/Conference facility. With three smaller meeting rooms also available, we can cater for groups as small as 4 and up to 50 persons attending. Lunch and beverages are also organised by our office. For availability and rates, please phone James at our offices. 090 6498016/17 NATC Youth Service The youth section of NATC is committed to the establishment of a countrywide Traveller Youth Service that recognizes that all the people who live in this country have a right to live in a society based on the principle of equality, justice and fairness. For NATC Youth service this can only be achieved by the empowerment and education of those who have to date been excluded from society and face discrimination and racism on a daily basis. We believe that providing a youth service that has at it’s core principal; empowerment and education, that we are demonstrating our determination to ensure that young Travellers are part of a process that involves them in the development of their community and society as a whole. To this end, we are currently reviewing the overall structure of the Youth Service through a consultation process and continuing to provide Youth services for 4000 + Traveller Youths. We have secured additional funding to provide support and training for our Youth Workers, Staff, Volunteers, Leaders, Staff and Management. We are determined to provide a quality youth service that will meet the needs of the Youths as well as provide them with the opportunity to explore the issues which makes life very difficult for members of the Travelling Community. We would welcome applications or expressions of interest from groups and organizations who are interested in providing Youth services for Traveller Youths.
