Newcomer Families Access to Services
It came to the attention of the Southern Outcomes Group and Locality Planning groups that a disproportionate number of BAME communities have been testing positive for COVID-19. There are also a number of barriers for these families accessing appropriate services.
A multi-agency BAME Access to Services Task and Finish Group has been established by the Southern Outcomes Group. A key area being progressed is linking with partner agencies and CAH virtual hospital to look at communication: share knowledge, ideas and best practice on how to engage and communicate more effectively with all communities, and improve access to services.
A new central Translations Hub providing regional multi-agency translated information, advice and relevant links, has just been launched and is available at http://www.cypsp.hscni.net/translation-hub/
The group will also focus on carrying out a needs assessment for BAME Families and Children living across the Southern Trust area. If you work with and/or support BAME families across the Southern Area please complete this short survey https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/WF9MTW6 to help us shape services.
