raisingchildren.net.au has built a new home for its collection of more than 450 languages other than English (LOTE) resources, which are now available via one free easy-access web page.
The web page was designed to bring together all of the site’s LOTE resources including free articles, videos and picture guides. It can be used as a handy referral tool for professionals working with families and includes topics such as daily care, nutrition, sleep, child disability and more.
With more than 23 per cent of Australians speaking a language other than English, it is important that LOTE resources are readily available and come from a trusted source. These evidence-based resources can help families navigate through the varied experiences of parenting.
Languages supported on the site include:
- Arabic
- Auslan
- Burmese
- Cantonese
- Dari
- Dinka
- Hakha Chin
- Hindi
- Indonesian
- Korean
- Mandarin
- Nuer
- Persian
- Simplified Chinese
- Sudanese Arabic
