CEH launches its new language services resources

Language Services Guide 2014 CEH

Centre for Culture, Ethnicity & Health (CEH) launched its new Language Services Guide and information sheets to the community on Tuesday 9 December.

The Language Services Guide and information sheets are designed to support and encourage all agencies, no matter how established or confident they are in their practices, to aim for continuous improvement in their provision of language services. 

With Victoria becoming a more linguistically diverse State, the need for such a guide is greater than ever. The Guide showcases examples, in the form of case studies contributed from organisations across Victoria, of ways to approach and implement language services.  

These information sheets provide useful information on how to effectively engage with language services. 

Read the Language Services Guide here.

The Language Services information sheets are available on the CEH publications page.
