The language barrier would be a big thing
I feel like the language barrier would be a big thing. Although I understand English, I know a lot of people from the Middle East and around [unclear] with a strong barrier. So, I think that it would be difficult to understand the policy.
Recommendations
-
Offer interpretation services to victims/survivors and respondents who are more comfortable communicating in a language other than English and make it known to students that this service is available.
-
Offer versions of policies presented in plain language and translated into languages commonly prefered by students. Ensure that these documents meet accessibility standards that consider the needs of students with disabilities and diverse learning styles.
