Community Liaison Officer
In 2004 Breckland created a jointly funded post of Community Liaison Officer with special responsibilities for migrant worker communities.
Funding originally came through European Union Connecting Communities fund following a joint bid by Breckland Council and Keystone Development Trust.
Since 2006 the post has been wholly funded by Breckland Council.
The aim of the post is to provide support to migrant worker, other minority communities and the settled community in the areas of housing and community cohesion. This includes direct advice and support to individuals but increasingly through other groups that the communities have developed themselves.
Links are established and maintained with a wide range of external organisations and the post is located within the Strategic Housing team so has direct links with the private sector housing, homelessness and housing advice teams. This is important because one of the biggest problem for migrant workers is suitable, safe accommodation.
