Welcome Exchange is undertaking a new outreach programme to the public sector in a bid to help prevent growing community tensions and unemployment rises and the recession takes hold.
Our aim is to support community cohesion objectives through the language and cultural awareness training we currently provide to the public sector.
Welcome Exchange Ltd has worked with clients including the fire and rescue service, the police, local councils and other organisations to improve relations with the diverse communities they serve. This has entailed a unique approach to cultural awareness training we call ‘Parallel Learning’, as recently praised by the Audit Commission.
By way of example we recently delivered a programme specifically designed to help Lancashire Fire and Rescue establish better links with the Polish community. It featured a series of ten classes at which fire officers and members of the Polish community learnt key phrases, shared useful knowledge and developed a better mutual understanding.
