Neew advice issued by DfE uses the term to refer to students 'of no fixed abode' who miss school while their parents are 'travelling during the course of their trade or business'.
Gypsy and Roma traveller pupils are to be referred to as 'mobile children' under new government guidance.
The law allows children to be away from the classroom while their parents are travelling for occupational reasons.Previous T Code guidance issued in May 2022 made specific reference to several traveller groups including Roma, English and Welsh gypsies, Irish and Scottish travellers, showmen , bargees and new travellers.
But the new guidance simply refers to the T code being used for absences when 'a parent is travelling for occupational purposes', the Telegraph reported. Baroness Smith of Malvern, the Minister of State for Skills, said the change was made to highlight that mobility rather than ethnicity qualifies for authorised absence
