Rethinking "hard to reach"
About
What does it take to genuinely engage communities whose voices are too often missing from policy conversations? This webinar shares reflections from a cross‑sector collaboration between The Institute for Safety, Compensation and Recovery Research (ISCRR) and the Migrant Workers’ Centre (MWC), working alongside community partners with lived experience. Through stories from the ISCRR–MWC partnership and insights from community ambassadors, we explore what it really means to build trust with "hard to reach" communities, and hear voices that are often missing from policy and system design.Speakers:
