Spanish term or phrase: referentes comunitarios para orientar
Buen día estimado(a)s colegas,

A continuación, les comparto un extracto del texto que estoy traduciendo:

El programa ha centrado sus acciones la organización y capacitación de las estructuras comunitarias y facilitadores judiciales en temas de auto-cuido, valores, uso seguro de redes sociales. Los facilitadores judiciales son referentes comunitarios para orientar a las familias sobre la ruta de la denuncia a seguir en casos de violencia familiar.

Mi traducción:

Judicial facilitators are community referents when it comes to advising families on the path to follow in order to report cases of domestic violence.

No obstante, me gustaría leer sus opinion, comentarios y si hay sugerencias más aterrizadas al contexto, bienvenidas sean.

Saludos

PS: No sé si el uso de "when it comes to" es demasiado informal en este contexto.

So, the sentence could be something like this:
"Judicial facilitators are community references, guiding/advising/asisting/helping families on which paths to follow when reporting cases of family violence."

NB: I prefer "points of reference in the Community/community" (capita C if it refers to the European Community, and lower case if it means the community in general).

community figures/officials who can advise


Explanation:
...families on how to report cases of domestic violence.

Referente is someone you refer to, ie an adviser. I've suggested "figures/officials" to avoid saying "advisers who can advise".

neutral  philgoddard: "To guide" implies that it's their sole purpose. They presumably provide advice on all aspects of the legal system.

community leaders


Explanation:
featured on oas.org website:
FEATURE: “OAS Judicial Facilitators More Justice for More People”
Second bullet point: “Community leaders trained through the Program act as mediators and conciliators and reduce the workload and costs of the formal legal system”.

I would prefer a bit more context before commenting on orientar. Signposting comes to mind as well as guide. But cf. my discussion entry.

re the oas.org link: this was what it showed me however it seems it will only take you to their website in general so best google
OAS Judicial Facilitators More Justice for More People<i/>
and it will take you straight to the feature.
