CALD; NESB.

II. What information is available in these resources/websites that could be
used to support CALD families?

answer- 
Offer CALD families the opportunity to request a gender matched interpreter if required or appropriate.

If a CALD family wishes to use a trusted confidante they should be used in conjunction with accredited interpreters.

Do not raise or repeat information in a disrespectful way. Do not correct the person’s grammar.

Make sure CALD families are aware that using an ethically-matched interpreter may cause them to fear a breach of confidentiality and assure them that interpreters are accredited and must keep all matters confidential except by law.

Offer CALD families who speak another language from a different country the option of having a non-ethically matched interpreter.

Offer CALD families the option to select a trusted person to act as a confidante and interpreter in conjunction with accredited interpreters.

Caseworkers can also get support from ethno-specific workers or organisations
