Next Race Equity Drop in July 26, 1:00-2:00 – Advocating for Our Clients Who Are Limited English Proficient and Their Children
Have your clients had their court cases continued over and over again because no interpreter was available? Has DCF told your parent client to attend a service that is only offered in a language the client does not speak? Do you represent a child who is losing the ability to communicate with their parents because they are placed in an English only speaking home? Are parent-child visits cancelled because there’s no interpreter for the DCF worker observing the visit? Are your clients routinely handed documents written in a language they cannot read? After several colleagues raised issues around language access at our last few drop ins, we decided to devote our next session to the challenges faced by our clients who are limited English proficient. Please join us on July 26, 1:00-2:00 to brainstorm with colleagues on how to protect the civil and due process rights of our clients who are limited English proficient. You can register to attend here.
Approved for 1 CAFL CLE.
