Reducing language barriers for vulnerable communities

Translation of important information

In areas with wide diversity, many communities may not be getting the clear information they need about COVID-19 measures and restrictions. Particularly older people from ethnic minority backgrounds may be missing out on key information. Even if they are able to speak and understand English, they may not be able to read English well enough to access up-to-date posters and literature about COVID-19.


They may be more likely to understand and act on key health information if it were available in written form in their native tongue. Linguation.com, an online translation agency, can support the translation of key information about COVID-19 from English into many community languages.

Vulnerable groups

It might be that you are a private business, for example, offering plumbing or gardening services, or maybe you are a public service or a charity, such as a food bank. If you provide a service to a diverse community, it is important to make sure everyone can access and understand any important information on your website or in other marketing documents.

Those people unable to access information in English from ethnic minority groups may be particularly vulnerable. Covid-19 is having a disproportionate impact on BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) communities. Moreover, those that tend to find reading English more difficult tend to fall in the older age bracket, another more vulnerable group. Members of the BAME community may also be more likely to travel on public transport and have employees that cannot be carried out through home-working, again making them more vulnerable.

Therefore, any key information translated into a relevant community language can only be a good thing. We must ensure that everyone has access to up-to-date information in an accessible and understandable form.
