Critical conversations to improve language access

This is a process for having critical conversations within your organization in order to develop or enhance your Language Access Plan. This process will help you:

• articulate your purpose in providing meaningful access to services for individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) and

   

• define immediate and long-term strategies for enhancing language access in ways that fit best with your organizational and community realities.

We recommend that you begin this process by assembling a small team of individuals that represent different areas of your organization (administrative, leadership, direct services, etc.). This team will come together three times for sessions that last 1-3 hours depending on how many updates to your existing language access plan are needed.
