Access to
Justice: Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and Access
to Protection Orders
The
following presentation, Access to Justice: Limited English
Proficiency (LEP) and Access to Protection Orders, is
provided as a resource for court personnel, community
based organizations, volunteers, and interpreters who
provide assistance to LEP individuals seeking a protection
order. The information is provided in five sections
so that the viewing audience can focus on specific areas
of informational need. This training medium provides
information and strategies, presented by individuals
who have acquired subject matter expertise through years
of professional experience, highlighting the challenges
faced by individuals who seek protection from abusers,
but have limited or no English language skills.
This presentation can be used as a comprehensive means
by which to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate
services to LEP persons, but the creators urge viewers
to know local guidelines, regulations, statutes, and/or
standards that may be enforced in a specific organization
or jurisdiction.
