Wychavon have developed a version of their website in Polish.
The website aimed at serving the needs of migrant workers and Polish residents, new to the area, is set to launch on 28th January.
Polish residents on the last electoral roll made up 737 residents and this increases in the summer months when migrant workers come over for seasonal work.
The website that has been translated by Wychavon’s Natalia Zak, originally from Poland, hopes to provide important information to Polish residents in their own language.
Amanda de Warr, Customer Services Manager said “We want to make Polish residents and migrant workers feel as welcome as possible to the area and know that English isn’t always their first language. It’s really important that Polish residents have access to information in Polish, to help them integrate and be aware of any cultural differences. It also encourages Polish residents to learn to speak English and provides signposts to local colleges.”
Natalia Zak, Customer Service Advisor said “It’s been great working on this innovative and new project to help Polish residents get important information easily. It will also reduce the time spent dealing with enquiries at the contact centres as so much information is now readily available on the website. We will continue to develop the website and welcome any input from the Polish community.”
The site will be accessible at www.wychavon.gov.uk/polska
