  • Pilot a cohesion within stigmatised communities.

  • Liaison Officers facilitating partnership building, identifying gaps in service provision and continually working to build bridges with stigmatised communities across the region.

  • A 'one stop shop' for other agencies needing support on cases concerning people from CALD communities.

  • Cultural Awareness & Engagement training for other agencies.

The Mission

Embedded in generous leadership. the Comminity Pathways Partnership aims to bring about systemic change as its contribution to achieving the vision.

It will deliver streamlined, accredited, multilingual specialists services and facilitate fair access to other local service provision, whilst working to improve mutual understanding of culture, both organisational and individual. The Partnership will develop organisational, community and individual capacity to improve cohesion and resilience.

Five outcomes sought in order to achieve the mission:

  1. People will be able to access the range of services they need to improve their quality of life and be aware of their rights and responsibilities.

  2. Stigmatised Communities will see there is strength in unity.

  3. The partnership service delivery model will be robust, resilient and responsive to changing needs.

  4. Organisations across the region will be better equipped to meet the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.

  5. Local, regional and national policies and procedures will be shaped by better quality data and intelligence about linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.

 

The community Pathways Partnership seeks funding to support the development and delivery of services for four years, starting in 2019. The Partnership[ and the services it provides will be self-funding and sustained form 2023 onwards.​
