This Translating Justice Toolkit gives trainers everything they need to produce their own language access training. It can be presented as a full two-day training on language access, or split up into specific modules. The Toolkit includes Power Points, faculty instructions, handouts, exercises, sample agendas, and evaluations for both in-person and virtual learning opportunities. The Translating Justice Initiative was created to develop a comprehensive language access curriculum addressing the training needs of crime victim service providers around language access for people with limited English proficiency and people who are Deaf and hard of hearing.
