Implementation\u00a0<\/h3>

Use the Language access plan template<\/a>, Sections 1C \u201cCapacity-Building\u201d and 3 \u201cMonitoring\u201d for building staff work plans:<\/strong><\/p>

  1. Assign responsibility for all tasks:<\/span>
    1. direct services tasks, that is, how to provide language access services to survivors with LEP<\/span><\/li>
    2. management tasks such as selecting, procuring, and organizing translated written material; selecting and contracting over-the-phone and in-person interpreter services; staff training; and language access monitoring and evaluation<\/span><\/li>
    3. Administrative tasks such as writing language access policies and procedures, monitoring, and funding (see <\/span>resource building<\/b><\/a>).<\/span><\/li><\/ol><\/li>
    4. Establish short- and long-term timelines for task completion. For example, prioritize training all staff on the Plan and language access strategies \u2013 not only will you support staff to provide high-quality, accessible language services to survivors with LEP, but you will better prepare staff for related outreach and systems advocacy work.<\/span><\/li>
    5. Review progress on Language Access Plan tasks during your program\u2019s check-ins, such as supervision and staff meetings.<\/span><\/li>
    6. Establish an annual review of your Plan. A logical time to review the Language Access Plan is during the annual budgeting process. Utilizing the \u201c<\/span>Critical conversations<\/b><\/a>\u201d process will help to deepen the implementation of your language access plan every year.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>
