OFFICE OF CULTURAL COMPETENCE AND ETHNIC SERVICES
The Office of Cultural Competence and Ethnic Services provides the administrative oversight for
embedding and integrating cultural and linguistic competence across every program within the
department. The Office uses the National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS)
standards and various organization assessment tools to address barriers to services due to culture and
language differences across the County.
The Office monitors the adherence of federal, state, and local mandates for cultural and linguistic
competence. The Office is also responsible for developing, monitoring, and implementing the state-
required Cultural Competency Plan (CCP). The Plan is used by the Department to work towards the
development of the most culturally and linguistically competent programs and services to meet the
needs of the County’s diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural populations.
