Do the inspectors bring with them material in a range of languages to distribute to the workers, or is it only in English? We dealt with an issue related to work permits at the committee previously and while information on them was on the WRC's website in a range of languages, which is welcome, the signposts signalling people to go to the website was only in one language. The information is good when one accesses the website but if an individual cannot access it, it is of very little use. Will the inspectors bring with them material on workers' rights in different languages?
