Abstract

This paper is part of two series that will be presented at this conference. This article will focus on interventions co-designed and implemented by a university, and the Gypsy Traveller Roma Showmen and Boater (GTRSB) community that can support a community. The research shows that the university's ability to engage with the communities it espouses to represent was achievable and sustainable only when members of those communities were not merely consulted but central to decision-making about and participation in intervention design, delivery, and evaluation. This paper highlights the challenges (time-intensive) and benefits of subduing the expert voice of academia associated to create meaningful community relationships.
