الارتباط الثقافي
Explanation:
I would suggest this translation for 'cultural liaison' by itself. However, if you mean the person who takes on cultural liaison, which seems to be suggested by your context statement, then I would defer to the answer given by my colegaue Mr. Murad Awad.

In the new context you offered, I would suggest the use of ارتباط rather than ربط. As you know, the latter is a more suitable translation for 'connecting' or 'linking.'

What is a cultural liaison?
One important way of reducing bias in special education evaluation is to involve culturally
knowledgeable staff. The ideal way to do this is to have licensed special educators who are
knowledgeable and involved members of minority communities. Efforts are underway in
Minnesota to increase recruitment of diverse special education staff.

Explanation:
I do not think the word " cultural" should be translated literally as it may add further meaning drives away from the exact meaning of the term.
