Equal Access Advocacy Project
Language Services worked with victim’s service agencies statewide to create practical, affordable language access plans that address the needs of crime victims with limited English proficiency (LEP), visual impairments, and/or members of the deaf and hard of hearing community.
By partnering with agencies who provided direct services to crime victims (including but not limited to: law enforcement agencies, victims’ advocates, crisis centers, and medical providers), we identified the factors that hinder communication and created customized language access plans to improve the services provided to people who find themselves in vulnerable situations.
This program will address Title VI compliance for all participating agencies by providing documents that lay out how to create a comprehensive language access plan for your organization.
