- State Language Centre: the main task of the volunteer assistants of the state language inspectors will be provision of advices and consultations
According to the State Language Centre (SLC), the main task of the volunteer assistants of the state language inspectors will be provision of advices and consultations to people about correct usage of Latvian language. If a volunteer finds violation of the State Language Law in the public space, s/he will address the responsible person explaining how to prevent it. The volunteers will not be authorized to punish for violations of state language usage. Choosing the volunteers, the SLC will have to ensure their competence and ensure training on the legal provisions. The SLC hopes to engage teachers, librarians, employees of municipal institutions in such initiative. Latvijas Avize
