Language access

Document your work

Programs should keep a record of their Language Access Plans, policies, and the steps they take to put them into action, as proof that they’re meeting Title VI requirements. Being able to clearly show the steps you take to support survivors with Limited English Proficiency while fully respecting their safety, confidentiality, and privacy speaks to the strength and integrity of your program, both inside and out.

This kind of documentation not only protects your organization’s track record, but also helps highlight your leadership within the community and the larger movement to end sexual and domestic violence. It can also make a strong impression on potential partners, funders, and others who care about this work.
