Abstract
This article assesses government progress in addressing Gypsy Traveller and Roma (GTR) exclusion, with particular reference to poverty and social justice issues in England, drawing on the findings of a civil society monitoring report of the UK's National Roma Integration Strategy undertaken for the Decade for Roma Inclusion Secretariat. The article identifies serious flaws in English policy approaches of mainstreaming, monoculturalism and localism when measuring these approaches against good practice as advocated within European Union and civil society guidance on Roma inclusion, which emphasises the potential value of partnership, interculturalism and targeting.
