Everyone has rights, including travellers, gypsies and people on whose land unauthorised encampments take place.
Gypsies and travellers are protected from discrimination by the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act 1998, together with all ethnic groups who have a particular culture, language or values.
The aim of this information is to set out how the council and other official agencies will work to try to balance the rights of all those involved.
