The Fundación Secretariado Gitano (FSG) pilot project aims to analyze and enhance the tools used in the Assertive Outreach Approach for Roma migrants. This initiative examines the existing intervention tools employed by FSG, assesses their effectiveness based on practices in Manchester, and identifies potential modifications. The goal is to improve intervention processes by integrating useful elements from these tools into the FSG system. Continuous consultations with FSG professionals will guide the adaptation and development of more efficient outreach strategies for better support of Roma migrants.

Fundación Secretariado Gitano Pilot: Tools used in the Assertive Outreach Marta Hernández EnríquezInternational Department
About the pilot • Objective: Analysis of some of the tools used in the Assertive Outreach Approach to determine their usefulness in improving intervention processes used at FSG and how the tools/elements of these tools can be integrated into current systems. • Methodology: • Review of the tools currently used by FSG for intervention, notably with Roma migrants • Analysis of the tools used in Manchester with a view to analysing whether these tools or elements included in them could serve to complement and improve FSG interventions • Initial identification of potential modifications/elements to be included in FSG tools • Actors involved: FSG professionals at general level and those working specifically with Roma migrants
Reflection process:Tools used by FSG • 1. Tools currently used by FSG in relation with intervention, notably with Roma migrants: • Which tools are used? Specific tools and procedures or general tools (with or without adaptations)? • Do these tools take sufficiently into account the specificities of the Roma migrant population? • Would it be appropriate to adapt them or to create new ones?
Reflection process:Tools used in Manchester • Initial assessment of the tool used in Manchester and their usefulness/transferability in FSG interventions • Tools analysed • Referral form • Initial Assessment Form • Manchester Common Assessment Framework (MCAF) • Case closure form • Questions for reflection • Are they relevant and useful? • Are FSG tools similar or include similar information? • Could they be useful and adapted for the Spanish context, and notably FSG interventions? • Are there elements of these tools that could be relevant to integrate in FSG tools?
Reflection process:Potential modifications tools • Initial identification of potential modifications/elements to be included in FSG tools • Which elements of these tools could be relevant to integrate in FSG intervention tools? • Barriers/areas to be taken into account regarding the adaptation of the tools and the gathering of information • Difficulty to obtain some of the information included in the forms (e.g. ethnic origin, really specific information…) • Too detailed forms which are too complex and time-consuming • Need to have tools and systems that allow to obtain information in a quick and easier way • Need to adapt FSG tools and related databases → need for human and financial resources
Future Steps • Ongoing process of sharing of relevant information and consultation with FSG professionals working with migrant Roma • Further assessment of the specific elements which could be adapted in the current tools and the possibility to process to the adaptation of the tools in practice • Informal use of elements of the tools by FSG professionals
