The Community Health Worker service is a two-year programme in which Gypsy/Traveller Community Health Workers (CHWs) are trained to provide health advocacy for their community on a wide range of health and social care issues.

The aim of the service is to address longstanding health inequalities experienced by Gypsy/Travellers, and to improve their health and wellbeing. MECOPP, in line with the Scottish Government’s recognition of Gypsy/Travellers as a distinct ethnic group, request that you use the correct spelling of Gypsy/Traveller and use capital letters in any reference to the community.
