Diversity Consultancy Panel
ECLC recently established the Diversity Consultancy Panel (DCP) to act as an Advisory Committee to the Centre. The project aims to provide advice on how to improve the Centre’s services and community education projects for diverse communities.
The DCP also provides a chance for community members to discuss and share opinions on legal issues facing diverse communities, while assisting members to develop their leadership skills and learn how to support community groups.
The opportunity was advertised in many forums including local media and through culturally-specific groups via a mail out. The group currently has four members representing diverse cultural backgrounds.
Meeting bi-monthly, so far the group has consulted on a number of topics including ECLC’s promotional materials and language services. This feedback helps inform the development of culturally responsive and appropriate services and resources within the Centre
